WILLIS  YARDLEY  WELCH,  M.  S. 

PROFESSOR  OF  SCIENCE  AND  NATURE  STUDY 

THIS    VOLUME   IS   AFFECTIONATELY 
DEDICATED 


WILLIS  YARDLEY  WELCH. 

Willis  Yardley  Welch  was  born  in  Searsburg,  Schuyler  County,  New  York. 
He  studied  in  the  common  schools  of  New  York  until,  in  his  sixteenth  year,  he 
began  teaching.  Two  years  later  he  entered  Starker  seminary,  New  York,  go- 
ing from  there  to  Union  Christian  College,  Merom,  Indiana,  where  he  was  in- 
terrupted in  his  Senior  Year  by  sickness.  On  recovering  he  taught  in  Indiana, 
Illinois  and  New  York  for  several  years.  After  taking  a  three  years'  course  in 
free  hand,  mechanical,  pattern  and  architectural  drawing  in  the  Kochester,  N. 
Y.,  Athenaeum  and  Mechanics  Institute,  he  entered  Oswego  Normal  School,  and 
in  his  Senior  Year  his  popularity  was  manifested  by  his  unanimous  election  to 
the  presidency  of  his  class.  He  was  graduated  with  highest  honors  in  the  clas- 
sical course  in  February,  189!).  Immediately  after  graduating,  he  became  As- 
sistant Instructor  in  Science  and  Nature  Study  at  Oswego  Normal,  retiring 
from  that  position  in  September,  1899,  to  accept  the  position  as  head  of  the  Sci- 
ence Department  in  the  Clarion  State  Normal  School,  Clarion,  Pennsylvania. 

Prof.  Welch  has  specialized  in  Psychology,  Pedagogy,  Science  and  Nature 
Study  and  Literature  at  Cornell,  and  the  past  summer  in  Quantitative  and  Ana- 
lytical Chemistry,  at  University  of  Wisconsin,  Madison,  Wis.  At  the  Clarion 
State  Normal  School  he  has  built  up  the  Science  Department  until  it  is  now 
considered  to  be  one  of  the  best  in  the  state. 

Prof.  Welch  has  done  commendable  institute  work.  His  lectures  are  in- 
structive and  scholarly  productions.  He  has  contributed  to  educational  period- 
icals on  scientific  and  educational  themes,  and  is  the  author  of  the  Chemical 
Laboratory  Manual  now  in  use  in  the  Clarion  Normal.  Bucknell  conferred 
the  degree  of  M.  S.  on  Prof.  Welch  in  1907. 


PREFACE 

The  Class  of  1911  presents  the  second  volume  of  the  Sequelle  to  the  stu- 
dents and  friends  of  the  school,  believing  that  our  efforts  have  not  been  entirely 
in  vain.  With  the  exception  of  the  work  of  the  business  managers  and  of  the 
artists,  nearly  everything  has  been  accomplished  in  our  spare  moments,  so  that 
few  have  sacrificed  school  work  for  the  sake  of  the  book. 

The  context  of  this  volume  is  a  chronicle  of  such  joys,  sorrows  and  follies 
of  the  class,  as  will  remind  them  in  time  to  come  of  the  eventful  days  spent  at 
Clarion.  'We  have  also  tried  to  represnt  such  departments  of  the  school  as  are 
significant  in  the  life  of  the  student  body. 

We  make  honorable  mention  of-  the  class  of  1909,  who  so  nobly  took  the 
initiative  in  this  work  here.  We  are  especially  indebted  to  our  staff  artists  for 
their  untiring  efforts  in  this  undertaking  and  gratefully  acknowledge  the  splen- 
did support  of  our  fellow  studenls  and  the  faculty. 

With  malice  toward  none,  with  charity  for  all,  we  submit  the  "11  Sequelle 
to  you,  loyal  friends,  believing  that  you  will  judge  it  fairly.

SENIOR  CLASS  HISTORY 


As  a  gurgling  spring,  we  the  class  of  1911,  bub- 
bling over  with  spirit  and  enthusiasm,  began  our 
eventful  career,  September  8,  1910.  After  getting 
into  the  general  routine  of  school  work  we  called 
a  class  meeting  at  which  officers  for  the  year  were 
elected  and  our  colors  the  "Old  Brown  and  Gold,' 
to  which  every  member  of  the  class  silently  swore 
fidelity  and  devotion,  were  selected. 

The  great  event  of  our  first  year  was  the  Junior 
Promenade,  the  first  affair  of  the  kind  ever  given 
in  the  school.  It  was  a  decided  success.  The  parr, 
we  took  in  the  Campus  Pageant  was  a  fitting  close 
for  our  prosperous  First  Year's  Work. 

After  a  pleasant  vacation,  we  resumed  our 
studies  as  Middlers.  Oh!  What  a  delightful  and 
successful  year  that  was.  The  reception  given  by 
our  class  in  the  winter  term  was  one  long  to  be  re- 
membered. Next  came  the  Gymnasium  Exhibition 
in  which  we  reflected  due  credit  upon  the  school. 
Again  came  the  Campus  Pageant,  and  1911  was  not 
behind  in  making  it  an  important  feature  of  the 
Commencement   Exercises.     As   the     stream     flows 


calmly  to  the  river,  our  Middle  Year  passed  on  un- 
til State  Board  directed  our  course  into  that  im- 
portant  river — the  Senior  Class. 

The  greatest  event  of  our  Senior  Year  thus  far, 
for  we  have  not  yet  been  ushered  into  that  glorious 
realm — Commencement  Week,  was  the  Senior  Class 
Play  on  Thanksgiving  evening.  In  the  interclass 
basket  ball  game  which  occurred  during  the  winter, 
both  Senior  boys  and  Senior  girls  came  out  victor- 
ious. 

In  all  phases  of  School  life — Scholarship,  So- 
ciety, Athletics — the  class  of  1911  has  excelled. 
It  has  been  our  aim  all  through  the  course  to  reach 
a  higher  standard  than  any  preceding  class,  and  in 
this  we  hope  we  have  been  successful. 

As  the  river  in  its  course  meets  obstacles  to 
hinder  its  progress,  so  has  our  class;  but  owing  to 
its  unity  and  capability,  it  has  been  able  to  pass 
over  every  difficulty  and  triumphantly  reach  its 
goal.  And  now,  with  feelings  of  loyalty  and  regret, 
we  leave  our  Alma  Mater  and  fellow  students  to 
go  out  into  the  great  ocean  of  life.

SENIOR  CLASS  SONG 


The  years  have  swiftly  glided 
And  the  time  at  last  draws  near, 
When  we  must  bid  a  fond  farewell 
To  those  we  love  so  dear. 

Since  we  entered  dear  old  Normal, 
Three  long  years  have  passed  away, 
Still  they've  been  so  full  of  sunshine 
It  seems  but  yesterday. 

Oh,  that  first  year  when  as  Juniors 
Yet  too  green  to  break  a  rule, 
We  displayed  our  bravest  efforts 
To  be  leaders  of  the  school. 


Then   came   Senior!     How   Ave   worried! 
How  we  burned  the  midnight  oil 
Now  we  see  ourselves  rewarded 
For  the  efforts  of  our  toil. 

Let  the  praises  of  dear  Normal 
Loud  resound  from  Gulf  to  Cape, 
Not   forgetting  the   green   carpet 
We've  all  danced  there, — few  escape. 

Though  our  paths  be  separated     . 
And  our  hearts  with  grief  bowed  down, 
Let  us  still  cheer  C.  S.  N.  S., 
And  the  dear  Old  Gold  and  Brown. 


Next  as  Mids  we  faced  the  struggle, 
Bristling  out  with  just  conceit 
It  was  then  we  reached  Fame's  Threshold, 
For  in  naught  we  knew  defeat. 


And  wherever  fate  may  send  us 
Let  this  ever  be  our  rule, 
That  we  love  our  Alma  Mater 
Our  dear  Clarion  Normal  School. 


CLASS  SONG 


We  planted  a  rose  in  our  garden  here, 
And  carefully  watched  it  grow, 
That  rose  was  desire  to  know  the  truth, 
To  conquer  and  win  as  we  go. 
Three  years  we've  spent  in  this  garden, 
Toiling  in  sunshine  and  rain, 
Onward,  though  sometimes  retarding, 
Upward  we're  striving  again. 
Happy  the  days  spent  together. 
Few  days  more  rare  than   those — 
Memory  shall  aid  us  in  truly  regarding, 
Our  dear  Class,  our  Garden,  our  Rose. 


To  the  Music  of  A  Garden  of  Roses. 

We  pause  for  a  moment  to  bid  adieu. 

Old  Normal  farewell  to  thee; 

^Ye've  plucked  the  fair  flower  that  marked  us  one, 

Ere  we  part,  let  us  sing  loud  and  free, 

We  love  thee,  our  dear  Alma  Mater 

Long  live  thy  ineni'ries  dear, 

Though   other  schools  may  be  greater, 

Tliv  halls  we  still  revere. 

Purple  and  gold  wave  forever, 

Bere  where  thy  children  dwell. 

All  hail  the  future  which  even  now  claims  us, 

Old  Normal.  Our  Normal,  Farewell. 


OUR  ROSE 


They  sing  of  the  lily  with  its  rich  varied  hue. 

Of  pansies  so  sweet  and  so  rare, 

Of  pale  budding  hyacinths  wet  with  the  dew, 

Of  daisies  and  violets  fair ; 

But  yellow  as  gold  and  our  color  so  true, 

And  sweet  as  the  breath  of  the  morn, 

The  rose  shall  live  in  my  memory  dear, 

And  ne'er  from  my  heart  shall  be  torn. 


Oh,  emblem  of  culture  no  flower  of  the  Wilds 

Can  speak  to  our  hearts  as  canst  thou, 

No  breath  like  thy  fragrance  can  waft  such  a  spell 

O'er  my  heart,  of  fond  memories  now. 

Thy  color  so  deep  as  it  gleams  ou  each  breast 

Shall  tell  of  the  true  bond  of  love, 

Uniting  our  band  as  together  we  march, 

The  Brown  and  Gold  waving  above. 


MARY     ALEXANDER. 
One    bright    November    day, 


lit- 


ith  black  hair  and  blue 
eyes  came  as  a  visitor  to  Potter 
county.  She  proved  ,so  attractive 
that  she  was  allowed  to  stay  and 
Mary  Alexander  she  has  been  called 
to  the  very  day.  Mary  is  small  in- 
stature  but  not  in  ambition.  Those 
useful  and  pretty  things  she  means 
to  have  "whenever  she  gets  to 
teaching"  are  almost  numberless. 
She  is  that  active  worker  in  the 
Y.  W.  C.  A.  who  collects  the  girls 
stray  pennies.  Mary  also  takes  a 
deep  interest  in  the  Literary  So- 
ciety and  delights  in  posing  as  a 
German  maid.  Her  well  known  ex- 
pression is  "O  Dear!"  Brave  Mary 
we    know    you    will    succeed. 


MARGARET  ARNER. 
One  bright  sunny  day  Margaret 
Arner  arrived  in  the  peaceful  town 
of  Clarion  and  since  then  has  been 
casting  joy  and  sunshine  wherever 
she  goes.  She  attended  the  Public 
School  and  was  graduated  from  the 
High  School  in  1909.  Being  am- 
bitious, she  was  attracted  by  the 
possibilities  of  a  Normal  course, 
so  joined  the  class  of  '11.  Margaret 
has  a  great  talent  for  music  and 
will  some  day  make  her  mark  in  the 
Musical  world  as  a  vocalist.  The 
greatest  trial  of  her  life  is  that  she 
is  so  small,  despite  the  assurance  of 
her  friends  that  the  best  goods  are 
always    done    up    in    small    packages. 


MIRIAM  BALLENTINE 
Here  is  one  of  that  famous  team 
"Jess  and  Mariam".  Miriam  has 
been  one  of  the  faithful  few,  who 
attended  the  school  during  the  en- 
tire course;  yet  we  are  surprised 
to  find  her  with  us  after  the  many 
accidents  that  have  befallen  her. 
But  for  all  that,  we  believe  that  she 
will  make  a  good  Speaker  (?)  later 
in   life. 


MARY  BARNETT. 
While  Mary  has  spent  most  of 
her  life  in  Clarion  she  lived  for 
some  time  in  Penfield  and  Mt.  Jew- 
ett,  attending  the  High  Schools  of 
those  places.  She  passed  Junior  at 
Lock  Haven,  but  came  to  C.  S.  N. 
S\  to  finish  the  course  and  has  been 
a  loyal  Elevener.  As  a  student 
she  is  industrious  but  believes  both 
in  work  and  in  play.  One  rule  she 
always  observes  is  to  open  wide 
her  mouth,  when  she  laughs.  She 
hasn't  much  dread  of  the  Faculty, 
and  can  sleep  as  easily  as  listen  in 
grammar  class.  She  is  a  firm  be- 
liever in  the  principle  that  girls 
should  be  capable  of  handling  horses, 
and  has  learned  to  ride  a  pony  very 
skillfully    through     Virgil. 


ZOIE  BASHLINE. 
Previous  to  entering  the  Normal 
Miss  Bashline  attended  the  Knights 
school  in  Beaver  township.  As  a 
student  she  is  industrious  and  has 
never  been  guilty  of  violating  even 
the  most  insignificant  regulation. 
Here  is  a  sample  of  her  piety.  One 
day  she  and  her  roommate  strolled 
out  of  town  for  a  walk.  On  their 
way  back  they  were  overtaken  by 
two  young  men  in  a  buggy  ,  who 
invited  them  to  have  a  ride  into 
town.  Zoie's  reply  was,  O!  I'm 
afraid  of  the  green  carpet."  As  a 
result  she  had  to  walk.  Although 
she  is  far  from  being  a  Jungfer,  she 
will 
she 


HAZEL     BOGGS. 

One  beautiful  May  day  long  gone 
by  Hazel  Boggs  took  root  and 
sprang  up  among  the  many  other 
beautiful  flowers  surrounding  her  in 
Allentown..  Ten  years  of  her  life 
was  spent  there  and  then  she  moved 
to  Bradford  where  she  graduated 
from  the  Public  Schools  of  that 
place.  In  some  mysterious  way  she 
wandered  to  Clarion  and  being 
charmed  with  the  place  decided  to 
remain  all  year.  She  stayed  away 
the  following  year  and  then  return- 
ed to  C.  S.  N.  S.  and  her  dearset 
pal,  Ruth.  Hazel's  favorite  past 
time  is  Athletics,  and  as  a  member 
of  the  middle  year  basket  ball  team 
she  won  great  fame  and  glory  for 
herself  and  her  classmates.  She  is 
a  happy  go  lucky  dreamer,  her  mot- 
to being,  "Cheer  up,  the  worst  13 
yet  to  come." 
Ceasar    is    her    favorite    study 

For  of  Lucius  she  can  read, 
We    no    longer    fear    her    future 

For    she's    got    her    husband     treed. 


Eve 


IRENE     BEATTT. 
present      with       us       is       this 


blithesome  little  girl.  She  was  born 
in  Scotch  Hill,  but  came  to  Clarion 
several  years  ago,  to  get  a  better 
education.  Although  not  very  fond 
of  studying,  she  loves  Zoology  and 
has  made  a  specialty  of  wild  ani- 
mals. Some  people  may  think  that 
Irene  just  goes  to  school  to  pass 
the  time,  and  to  get  away  from  the 
turmoil  of  the  city;  but  it  is  not  so. 
After  being  graduated  she  intends 
to  go  S'outh.  While  we  do  not 
know  her  future  occupation  we  trust 
will    follow    her. 


DEWIGHT      CALDWELL. 

De  wight  caused  a  hurry  up  call 
for  the  stork  one  morning  in  the 
late  SO's.  He  tormented  his  mother 
for  a  few  years  and  then  began  to 
annoy  the  school  marms  of  Jeffer- 
son Co.,  by  his  continual  chatter. 
Later  in  life  he  began  his  career  at 
C.  S.  N.  S.  as  a  Junior  of  the  class 
of  '11 .  Owing  to  his  untiring  ef- 
forts he  has  completed  the  course 
without  a  smile  but  many  a  blush. 
As  an  athlete  Dwight  has  made 
good.  He  was  pitcher  of  the  Yani- 
gan  base  ball  team  and  jumped  cen- 
ter  for  the   S'eniors   in   basket   ball. 

In  the  future  he  expects  to  marry 
and   do   well. 


EMMA  CHRISTIAN. 
Carried  on  the  sound  waves  caus- 
ed by  the  discharge  of  a  cannon  in 
the  early  sixties,  a  little  blue  eyed 
giri  was  dropped  in  the  vicinity  of 
SheiHeia.  With  a  determination  to 
become  famous,  Emma  Christian, 
for  it  was  none  other, — began  work. 
She  attended  the  Sheffield  Public 
School  where  all  her  teachers  won- 
dered at  her  talent.  In  the  fall  of 
1909  Emma  with  that  good  judg- 
ment natural  to  her  "boarded  the 
train  for  C.  S.  N.  S.  where  she  has 
proved  herself  a  strong  influenl  ial 
girl.  She  takes  great  interest  in 
the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  of  which  she  has 
been  president  for  the  past  year.  In 
her    classes    Emma    ranks    among    the 


plea; 
sh< 


...  has 
become  an  earnest  student  of  His- 
tory making'  a  specialty  of  the  life 
of  "Sir  Walter  R."  Prospects  foil' 
her  future  are  bright,  and  it  will 
not  surprise  us  in  later  clays  to 
hear  her  name  associated  with  the 
famous    women      of      the        twentieth 


GEORGIA  COE. 
A  worthy  representative  of  Potter 
County,  Georgia  Coe  rirst  unpacked 
ner-  earthly  possessions  in  Mills. 
Not  finding  this  city  suitable  to  her 
tastes  and  desires,  she  soon  moved 
LO  Oswayo,  where  she  went  to  her 
early  education.  Later  she  went  to 
Harrison  Valley  entering  the  High 
School    from    which    she    was    gradu-

THEODOSIA     CLAWGES. 
"Theodosia!  Theodosia!  Has 

anyone  seen  Theodosia?"  Dode,  as 
she  is  generally  known,  is  a  blue 
eyed  lass  with  light  hair  which  had 
a  streak  of  gold  running  through  it. 
After  attending  Ridgway  High 
School  Theodosia.  in  the  fall  '  of 
'09  came  to  C.  S.  N.  S.  where  she 
has  distinguished  herself  In  more 
ways  than  one.  In  the  class  room 
she  is  always  ready  with  an 
answer,  and  being  such  a  conscien- 
tious girl,  was  chosen  as  a  member 
of  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  devotional  com-

Oh,  it  was  in  the  bleak  December, 
that  tli ere  came  to  the  Craig  home-

choose  to  call  Florence.  Early  in 
life  she  gave  signs  of  what  she 
might  do  in  the  way  of  education,

NANNIE  DITTY. 
Nannie  first  began  to  talk  in  Sum- 
merville  and  siie  has  made  rapid 
progress  ever  since.  As  teaching 
was  her  chosen  profession,  she  came 
to  Clarion  in  Jany.  1909  to  develop 
her      intellectual      qualities.  While 

here,  she  has  distinguished  herself 
in  German  and  in  Elocution.  She 
also  has  talent  for  art,  so  spends 
leisure  time  in  drawing  pictures, 
which  are  true  to  life.  Nannie  is 
very  good  natured,  and  can  smile 
when  everythig  goes  dead  wrong. 
She  likes  to  go  calling  after  seven

ROBERT  DOUGHERTY. 
Robert  F.  Dougherty  is  the  same 
nationality  as  Pat  of  the  Emerald 
Isle,  although  he  was  born  near 
Brook  way  ville.  Wishing  to  further 
his  education,  and  incidentally,  to 
have  a  good  time  he  came  to  Clar- 
ion. His  happy  Irish  face  was  first 
seen  on  the  campus  in  1908.  Hi 
took  Middle  in  '09.  but  being  a  boy 
of  goad  judgment,  lie  missed  a  year 
and  then  came  back  to  take  Senior 
with  the  class  of  11.  Robert  an- 
swers all  the  perplexing  classy 
questions  asked  by  "Dolly" 
ing  love  and  the  Ladies.  R.  F. 
is  a  stai  in  basket  ball  and  an 
around  good  fellow.  We  know  t 
his  interesting  smile  will  win  sc

pleasant    as    his    smile. 


PRUDA    ERWAY. 

Pruda  Erway  fii*st  saw  the  light 
of  this  earth  near  Harrison  Valley, 
one  day  in  September.  She  was 
graduated  from  the  Valley  High 
School  and  after  teaching'  two  years 
found  herself  at  Clarion  Normal, 
January  1910,  registered  as  a  mem- 
ber of  the  class  of  '11.  She  is  quiet 
and  unassuming,  but  persistent  and 
nin bilious  and  always  ready  to  lend 
a  li  el  ping  hand.  Pruda's  most  fre- 
quent saying  is  "I  know  I'll  Flunk." 
We  think  there  would  be  no  danger, 
if  she  wouldn't  spend  quite  so  much 
time  curling  her  hair.  .Her  favorite 
sport  is  catching  mice  at  midnight. 
A  little  more  courage,  Pruda,  so 
you  won't  have  to  awaken  your 
neighbors  to  kill  them. 


ETHEL  FITZSIMMONS 
Ethel  Fitzsimons,  one  of  our  bright 
and  industrious  little  girls  was  born 
near  Brookville  in  1SS5  (?).  From 
the  first  she  showed  remarkable  rea- 
soning power,  which  still  clinging 
to  her,  helped  to  smooth  many  dif- 
ficulties in  Geometry.  After  teach- 
ing successfully  for  two  years,  she 
came  to  the  Normal  where  she  takes 
an  active  interest  in  school  affairs 
and  is  always  ready  to  do  her  duty. 
Ethel  is  especially  bind  of  Ethics  and 
Logic.  Wonder  what  the  attrac- 
tions   might    be. 

May  she  always  have  success  in 
her  chosen  profession,  namely  that 
of    teaching    children. 


ALICE  FENSTAMAKER. 
Yes,  there  is  Biddy,  the  worthy- 
Secretary  of  our  class,  who  has= 
fait.h  fully  performed  the  du'.jles  of 
that  office  for  the  last  three  years. 
Everybody  wears  a  smile  when 
Biddy  comes  around,  for  her  sunny 
disposition  and  lovable  ways  drive 
away  all  morbid  feelings.  Although 
she  produces  this  effect  in  our  daily 
lives,  she  certainly  goes  the  limit 
on  the  stage,  where  she  can  pro- 
duce the  appearance,  manners,  and 
speech  of  a  "mammy  cook"  to  per- 
fection. Her  favorite  pastimes  are- 
shooting,  goals  and  holding  hands 
after  class  meeting.  Biddy  also  pos- 
sesses the  fine  arts  of  a  musican; 
she  can  play  anything  from  the 
simple  hymns  we  used  to  sing  in 
Chapel  to  the  classical  works  of 
Chopin  and  Wagner.  Alice's  great. 
ability  lies  in  the  fact  that  she 
knows  the  right  word  in  the  proper 
place. 


JESSIE  GATES.  ' 
"Happy-go-lucky  Jess"  first  com-

become  quite  proficient  in  that  line. 
She  takes  good  care  not  to  let  her~ 
studies  interfere  with  the  more  im- 
portant things  of  life.  Her  favorite- 
pursuits  are  tennis  and  basket-ball. 
She  is  also  very  well  versed  in  other- 
lines,    just    ask    "Sluge."

Some  time  ago  a  dark  eyed  baby

EUGENE  GUTHRIE. 
Readers,  when  you  look  into  this 
mild  sweet  face,  you  may  think 
that  you  behold  the  original  Angel 
Child;  but  do  not  be  deceived.  When 
Guth  was  quite  young  he  took  a 
journey  south,  where  he  became  a 
victim  of  the  hookworm.  This  dis- 
ease is  most  plainly  shown  in  Phy- 
sics class,  when  he  would  rather 
receive  a  goose  egg  for  his  recita- 
tion than  to  rise  to  his  feet.  Gut.h's 
strong  point  is  that  he.  does  not 
yield  to  the  heart  crushing  looks, 
which  the  girls  cast  upon  him.  lie 
is  by  no  means  a  mummy,  hut  is 
very  clever  with  the  baskei  -ball, 
and  professes  to  be  skilled  in  me 
use  of  the  padded  mitts.  His  favor- 
ite expression  is  "I'll  land  on  your 
whistle." 


FLORENCE  HARRIGER.

makes  much  noise  but  when  she

over  with  laughter  by  her  witty 
saymgs.  Florence  did  not  seem  to 
pay  particular  attention  to  the  vnun- 
men  but  somehow  her  seatmate  iii 
nearly  all  of  her  classes  happened 
to  be  one  of  the  opposite  sex.  In 
Latin  class  it  seemed  to  take  her 
and  the  young  man  with  whom  she 
sat  a  long  time  to  get  awake  to  the 
fact  that  they  were  in  class.  She 
is  always  ready  to  help  whenever 
she  is  needed  and  is  in  every  wav 
one  of  the  most  agreeable  members 
of    our    class.

the  debris  was  cleaned  away  a 
child  was  found  who  was  destined 
to  become  Quite  famous  in  the  his- 
tory of  C.  S.  N.  S.  This  remarkable 
prodigy  proved  to  be  the  subject  of 
this  sketch.  Caroline  attended  the 
Lamartine  Grammar  School  and  Iron 
City  Business  Colb-gi'  of  Pittsburg 
but  not  liking  a  business  career  came 
to  Clarion  to  join  the  'll's.  Ever 
since  she  came  to  this  institution 
she  lias  been  noted  for  her  early 
rising  and  calling  her  neighbors  in 
the  wee  small  hours  of  night.  But 
this  is  good  training  for  one  prepar- 
ing for  a  doctors  '  'fidde  ty."  Al  - 
though  her  future  is  planned  she 
really  intends  to  go  west  with  May,

MARY  MARIE  HOWARD. 
Along  the  banks  of  the  Allegheny- 
River,  in  the  town  of  Tarentum.  a 
blue  eyed  babe  was  bornvwhom  they 
decided  to  name  Marie?  The  early 
part  of  her  life  was  spent  in  attend- 
ing the  Public  Schools  of  Tarentum. 
Afterwards  entering  the  'Parent  u-m. 
High  S'chool  where  she  did  not  re- 
main long  until  aroused  with  a 
desire  to  attend  C.  S.  N.  S.-  and  im- 
mediately left  to  join  tin-  class  nf 
1911.  As  a  member  of  this  class 
she  was  highly  thought  of  both  intel- 
lectually and  socially  in  the  Y.  W. 
C.  A.  cabinet.  She  has  been  an  ac- 
tive worker  for  the  past  year.  With 
her  cheerful  disposition  she  scatters 
sunshine  wherever  she  goes.  Marie 
was  often  found  in  some  of  the  girls 
rooms  with  a  number  of  girls  cir- 
cled   about     her.     while      she      recited

LILLIE  HUMES. 
Lillie  Humes  was  born  one  bright 
September  day  near  Hawthorn,  Pa. 
After  attending  the  local  schools 
she  came  to  Clarion  where  she  has 
been  a  faithful  student1.  Skipping 
class  and  breaking  study,  hour  are  to 
her  the  worst  of  vices.  Lillie  says 
her  favorite  study  is  Caesar.  We 
always  knew  that  she  was  fond  of 
horses.  We  believe  that  she  will 
make  a  good  teacher  because  she  is 
so  fond  •'of  children;  yet  in  vain  do 
we  try  to  convince  h»r  that  teaching 
is  her  calling.  May  she  have  suc- 
cess   wherover    she    goes. 


LESLIE  M.  HUTCHINSON. 
The  stars  in  the  clipper  had  a  quar- 
rel, and  in  the  midlde  of  the  con- 
flict a  piece  was  knocked  from  the 
handle.  This  little  light  fell  rapid- 
ly until  one  bright  May  day  in  1905 
it  landed  in  the  Monongahela  Valley 
near  Elizabeth,  Pa.,  (and  proved  to 
be  the  little  blue  eyed  maiden  whom 
everybody  knows  as  Leslie).  She 
received  her  early  education  in  her 
home  school,  and  later  entered  the 
Elizabeth  High  School,  (but  when 
the  name  of  Clarion  Normal  reached 
her  exrs  she  immediately  decided 
to  join  the  class  of  1911.)  When 
Leslie  landed  at  C.  S\  N.  S.  many 
psoplj  wondered  how  such  a  littie 
girl  would  battle  with  the  trials  of 
it  Normal,  but  they  soon  found  out 
that  though  she  was  small  indeed 
she  was  an  independent  little  body 
and  able  to  take  care  of  herself. 
Strangers  often  honor  her  by  the 
title  "Mr."  Her  favorite  study  is 
El  col:  t  ion.  She  intends  to  teach 
school  for  a  time  and  will  then  go 
in  saarch  of  the  fountain  which 
makes  one  grow.  We  all  hope  she'll 
find    it. 


MYRTLE    JOLLY. 

Among  the  graduates  of  1911  is- 
Myrt,  our  golden  haired  friend,  who- 
held  many  responsible  positions. 
She  served  faithfully  as  chairman  of 
the  Song  Committee  and  member  of 
the  Glee  Club,  of  the  Social  Commit- 
tee and  as  Aid-de-Camp  and  private 
secretary  to  the  President  of  the 
Class.  Myrtle  believes  in  coming 
early  to  avoid  the  rush;  for  instance 
she  never  failed  to  come  back  to 
school  the  day  before  the  term 
opened  and  somehow  managed  to 
get  through  next  day's  work.  At 
school  she  formed  a  habit  of  put- 
ting her  light  out  at  ten  o'clock  and 
a  habit  formed  by  her  is  never  brok- 
en. She  is  very  fond  of  flowers,  espe- 
cially of  Water  Lillies.  Myrtle  has 
a  very  pleasant  home  in  Knox,  where- 
she  cordially  welcomes  all  her 
friends. 


RUTH    and    ESTHER    JOHNSON. 

Three  years  ago  two  modest  girls 
(Ruth  and  Esther  Johnson)  came  to 
the  C.  S.  N  S.  to  further  their  edu  ■ 
cation  which  they  began  near  Em- 
lenton.  While  here  they  have  been 
very  studious  and  although  they 
have  had  no  High  School  course  yet 
they  have  a  good  standing  in  their 
,  classes.  Ruth  has  the  best  success 
with  languages  but  Esther  enjoya 
the  Science  Department.  They  are 
quiet  and  earnest;  both  believing 
that  a  sister  is  the  best  and  truest 
friend.  The  best  wishes  of  the  en- 
tire class  go  with  them  as  they 
carry    on    their    life's    work. 


HILARY  KERR 
Hilary  Kerr  first  opened  his  eyes 
at  Kingsville,  1493.  a  short  time  af- 
ter the  founding  of  the  city  by  Co- 
lumbus. One  look  at  his  photograph 
will  show,  that  very  few  girls  can 
withstand  his  charms.  He  is  a 
great  athlete  and  his  favorite  pas- 
time is  bowling  on  third  floor  dur- 
ing study  hour.  All  perplexing  ques- 
tions concerning  Cupid  and  his  vic- 
tims can  lie  easily  solved  by  this  boy 
with  that  serene  mathematical  smile. 
As  his  favorite  topic  is  matrimony, 
we  hope  to  see  him  soon  burdened 
with  cares  of  a  wife  and  fourteen 
other  little  Kerrs.  His  by-word  is

ELVA  KNIGHT. 
One  night  in  August  on  the  Knight 
farm,  Elva  Knight  began  to  plague 
her  parents.  Since  that  time  they 
have  had  no  peace  until  she  came  to 
Clarion  and  joined  the  class  of  191L

good  will  always  be  her  greatest 
pleasure."  The  only  fault  she  ever 
round  with  C.  S.  N.  S.  is  that  the  (K) 
night  was  never  long  enough.  How- 
ever she  is  one  of  the  remarkable 
few  who  practice  Poor  Richards 
Maxim.  "Early  to  bed  and  early  to 
rise  makes  a  man  healthy,  wealthy 
and  wise."  We  predict  success  for 
her  in  her  chosen  life  work,  even  if 
it  be  caring  for    "Sweet  William."

disposition  when  left  to  have  her

some  years  hut  thinks  she  will  teach 
no  longer.  Her  father's  farm  looks

tain of  Senior  Basket  Ball  Team, 
S'enior  Quartette,  Tennis  Association. 
In  1S92  the  city  of  Knox  was  honor- 
ed by  the  entrance  of  Mildred  into 
its  limits.  Although  ths  fact  was 
not  appreciated  at  the  time  it  will 
be  at  some  time  in  the  far  future. 
She  came  I,,.,,.  i„  the  fall  of  1909. 
Since  then  she  has  passed  through 
all  the  stages  from  an  undergraduate 
to     a     lull-lie, 1",  ,1     .-',  nior    and     is    just 

She  is  even  mistaken  sometimes  by 
the  Navarre  girls  for  the  Angel  Ga- 
briel. Her  membership  in  the  Tata 
Bita  Pi  Sorority  has  been  very  nec- 
essary to  the  peace  and  happiness  of 
her  sisters.  Her  favorite  pastimes 
are  toasting  marshmallows  and  do- 
ing the  teachers.  She  is  a  star  in 
tennis  and  basket  ball,  in  fact,  Mil- 
dred is  a  very  accomplished  young 
lady  in  every  way.  "I  wonder  who 
blew   that   horn." 


BERTHA  LEHMAN. 
Bertha  Lehman,  one  of  Jefferson 
County's  sunny  belles,  came  to  the 
Normal  in  1908.  During  her  stay 
here,  she  has  pursued  her  duties  so 
earnestly  that  she  has  gained  the 
respect  of  both  students  and  teachers. 
Bertha  has  a  quiet  disposition,  and 
becomes  animated  only  when  she 
receives  one  hundred  per  cent  in  an 
examination.  Although  she  loves 
science  work,  her  greatest  delight  is 
digging  out  Virgil  and  Wilhelm  Tell. 
May  Bertha  ever  have  success  in 
moulding  the  young  minds  of  the 
criming    generations. 


LTDA  RUTH  LOBAUGH.

This  is  Ruth,  our  only  girl  from  a 
distant  state,  but  whom  we  fear  will 
soon  be  in  a  state  of  matrimony. 
However,  she  is  now  engaged  in 
studying  and  singing.  Always  happy 
and  gay  she  trips  along  and  tries  to 
see  the  happy  side  of  life.  As"Suz- 
anne"  in  the  Senior  Class  Play  she 
exhibited  ability,  which  if  she  still 
continues  to  show  will  point  her  the 
way  to  the  stage.  There  is  nothing 
she  likes  to  do  quite  so  well  as  to 
take  a  stroll  with  some  "particular 
friend",  or  dream,  trying  to  picture 
a  golden  future.  We  need  not  fear 
for  her  future,  because  she  is  saving 
all  her  spare  energy,  which  she  ex- 
pects   to   give    to    the    training    of   her 


GRACE    LEVIER. 

"He  who  chooseth  me  shall  give 
and   hazard    all    he    hath." 

One  cold  November  day,  a  pre- 
vailing westernwind  blew  Grace  Levier 
along  its  path  and  deposited  her  at 
Fisher.  As  a  result  of  her  roving 
disposition,  she  clmibed  into  an 
aereoplane  and  headed  for  the  North 
Pole.  By  accident  she  tumbled  from 
her  lofty  position  only  to  alight  at 
Clarion.  After  a  few  weeks  sojourn 
here  she  was  heard  to  remark,  "O, 
what's  the  use  of  me  searching  for 
the  North  Pole  when  I  have  Perry 
here?" 

Grace  is  an  industrious  Senior  with 
a  cheerful  smile,  we  feel  sure  that 
she  will   prove   an   honor   to    Clarion.

Although  Louis  is  not  taking  gram- 
mar we  feel  sure  that  he  knows  what 
Shatz  means.  Louis  is  a  very  ac- 
tive member  in  the  "eat  all  you  get" 
Club.  His  favorite  pastime  while  at 
home  is  driving,  although  we  are 
told  that  he  is  not  an  expert  horse- 
man, as  sometimes  he  gets  out  of 
can  be  the  reason?  He  expects  to 
the  road  a  half  mile  or  more.  What

One  bright  day  in  the  fall  of  1910 
<.hloe  L.yle  appeared  among  us  in 
the  astonishing  capacity  of  a  Mid- 
dle-Junior lining  Senior  work.  In 
due  time  the  apparent  impossibility 
received  an  explanation.  By  hard 
study  she  advanced  herself,  so  that 
she  was  required  to  spend  but  little 
time  with  us  this  year.  While  here 
sin-  has  ,-h  iraotorized  herself  by  her 
gentle  winning  manner  and  pleasant 
smile.  Her      favorite        occupation 

seemed    to    he    playing    the    violin    and 
visiting    during    study    hour.

during  the  alter  part  of  the  SO's

JESSIE    MATHER. 
Jessie    made    her     first     appearance 

at  Fort  Steele,  Wyoming,  but  soon 
came  east  to  grow  bigt  ?)_  She  is  a 
very  bright  little  girl,  having  been 
graduated  from  Brockwayville  High 
School  when  but  a  child.  Jessie  is 
now  very  much  interested  in  the 
study  of  Patterson's  Grammar.  She 
distinguished  herself  in  both  the 
plays  of  the  class.  In  the  Senior 
Class  play  she  was  the  star  of  the 
evening  in  the  character  Mrs.  Brown, 
She  is  also  a  shining  light  in  the 
arts  of  singing,  playing  and  drawing, 
is  a  member  of  the  school  orchestra, 
Bancroft  Society.  Jessie  is  some- 
times called  Zim  because  of  her 
wonderful  drawing  "Zim,"  but  this

J.  JUDD  MERRTMAN. 
-  Pres.  F.  L.  S.  Class  Dramatist, 
Assistant  Editor  of  Seciuelle.  Our 
old  friend  Judd  appeared  at  C.  S.  N. 
S.  to  take  Junior  in  1909.  He  is  very 
popular  with  the  ladies  and  makes 
good  use  of  this  fact  for  a  "new 
girl"  is  a  common  occurrence  with 
Judd.  Being  the  cheer  leader  of  all 
athletic  affairs  his  strong  point  is 
wide  openness.  He  has  also  compos- 
ed several  class  yells.  Studds  fav- 
orite resort  is  the  bell  tower,  to  which 
he  retires  at  regular  intervals  to 
read  the  famous  booklet  Picnic 
Twist.  Merry  is  an  all-around  good 
fellow  and  is  sure  to  make  good,  if 
he  only  gets  one  finger  on  the 
sheep-skin. 


RUTH  MERCER. 
Ruth's  smiling  face  first  appeared 
in  Bradford  April  7,  many,  many, 
years  ago.  Her  heme  was  in  Brad- 
ford for  only  a  short  time  and  she 
eventually  landed  in  Clarion  through 
no  desire  of  her  own;  Owing  to  her 
winning  disposition  and  smiling  coun- 
tenance she  has  many  friends.  She 
graduated  from  Clarion  High  School 
in  190S  and  the  following  year  en- 
tered the  Normal.  S'.ie  has  taken 
an  active  part  in  Athletics,  especial- 
ly basket  ball.  Being  cf  a  practical 
turn  of  mind  she  will  some  day  at- 
tain a  great  fame  and  honor.  She 
is  no  other  than  our  class  poet.  In 
the  wee  sma'  hours  cf  the  night  she 
might  be  seen  with  a  certain  young 
man  from  the  Normal.  I  wonder 
who?  Well,  we  can  only  judge  from 
the  sleepy  looks  of  B.ildy.  We  have 
no   fears    for   her   future   life   and   suc-

A  voice  from  the  clouds  cried  out 
saying,  "O  mists  make  room  for  me." 
Hence  they  parted  and  the  subject 
of  this  paragraph  was  dropped  in  the 
river  valley  where  things  generally 
grow  tall  and  slender.  Frail  in 
body  but  great  in  mind(?)  she  chose 
to  cast  her  lot  with  the  "bunch  of 
dignity"  of  1911.  After  graduation 
she  expects  to  follow  the  course  of 
empire  and  later,  if  her  wishes  all 
come  true,  we  shall  hear  of  her  in 
the  west  spraying  fruit  trees  and 
making    Apple    Jacks. 


O.    K.    METZ. 

Class  Vice-Pres.  '10,  Chairman 
Bible    Study    Com.       Sequelle      Board. 

After  attending  Port  Allegheny 
High  School.  Karl,  with  the  fascinat- 
ing grin  entered  the  Normal,  and 
"did"  the  course  in  two  years.  His 
motto  is  "never  neglect  your  educa- 
tion for  the  sake  of  your  studies". 
Last  year  in  the  absence  of  our  pres- 
ident he  ably  conducted  the  Middle 
year  reception.  O.  K.  has  made 
good  in  Tennis  and  Football,  and 
migh!  have-  been  -a  stir  on  the  Senior 
Basket  Ball  team,  but  for  an  un- 
avoidable  accident.  He  is  one  of 
that  crowd  of  early  risers,  called 
"Tennis  Fiends"  and  is  a  33rd  degree 
knight  of  Terpsichore.  If  he  pur- 
sues his  present  tactics,  the  divorce 
court  will  be  kept  busy,  because  for 
some  unknown  reason  his  cases  are 
of  short  duration.  It  is  generally 
understood  that  he  intends  to  be 
the  S'upt.  of  Schools  in  some  great 
city. 


LILLIAN  MILLER. 
Lillian,  a  black  eyed  young  lady, 
was  born  at  Tylersburg,  Pa.  Being 
a  Methodist  Minister's  daughter  she 
has  roamed  much  in  spite  of  her 
youth.  After  attending  the  Engle- 
wood  High  School  in  Chicago  she 
came  to  Clarion  at  the  opening  of 
the  winter  term  of  1910  and  joined 
the  class  of  '11.  Much  misfortune 
has  befallen  her  during  her  Senior 
year.  She  was  sent  home  with 
"Mumps"  and  when  she  was  ready 
to  come  back  she  was  quarantined 
for  twenty-one  days.  Nevertheless 
she  will  get  a  grade  in  Physics,  and 
make  a  good  teacher  for  some  one. 
She  especially  loves  to  study  Litera- 
ture, and  knows  by  heart  Milton's 
favorites.  Lillian's  specialty  is  mak- 
ing fudge  by  candle-light,  meanwhile 
amusing    the    others   with    her   jokes. 


MABEL  McCASKEY. 
Mabel  McCaskev  first  made  her 
home  at  Loleta,  but  a  few  years  lat- 
er migrated  to  a  little  town  in  the 
suburbs  of  Sigel,  where  she  now 
spends    her    summer    vacations.     After 

■ pleting     the     course     of     education 

at  the  Sigel  High  School  with  high 
honors,  she  came  to  C.  S.  N.  S.  to 
join  the  class  of  1911.  She  has  made 
a  great  success  of  her  work  here, 
and  is  especially  proficient  in  Ma- 
thematics. Basket  ball  is  her  fav- 
orite game  and  we  are  sure  she  has 
helped  the  class  of  1911  win  many 
laurels  along  that  line.  Mabel  is  a 
quiet  unassuming  Senior,  and  al- 
though small  we  prophesy  great 
things    for    her    in    the    near    future.

in a  little  black  house  atong  the  road 
a  child  arrived  to  gladden  the  hearts 
of  many.  By  careful  cultivation, 
she  became  a  *  winsome  girl  with  a 
sptmdid  carriage.  Alice  received 
her  elementary  education  in  the 
Public  Schools  of  Nebraska  and  af- 
ter taking  a  preparatory  course  at 
Tionesta,  entered  C.  S.  N.  S.  She 
worked  hard(?)  during  her  Junior 
year  and  made  many  friends.  She 
has  always  been  a  popular  girl  es- 
pecially among  the  boys  and  likes 
best  of  all  to  take  a  long  drive  in  the 
front  seat  of  an  automobile.  How- 
ever she  does  not  really  care  for  a 
joy  ride  except  on  a  rainy  day. 
During  her  Senior  year  she  divided 
her  spare  moments  between  the  Trio 
and   her   rocking   chair.

GLADYS  McELHATTAN. 
Gladys  MeElhattan  was  born  in 
the  town  of  Huckleberry  Ridge.  Her 
early  school  days  were  spent  in  the 
Madison  Common  fa'jhool  and  the 
Shippenville  High  School.  She  was 
graduated  from  Che  latter  in  1909 
and  in  the  spring  of  this  same  year 
joined  the  Junior  class  of  C.  S.  N.  S. 
She  has  always  bean  a  loyal  member 
of  this  class.  Gladys  is  a  jolly,  good- 
natured  girl,  sometimes  inclined  to 
study  ha-d  but  always  ready  for  fun. 
Much  of  her  time  this  year  has  been 
spent  in  .guiding  the  steps  of  a  pranc- 
ing Junior.  But  since  she  is  skilled 
in  managing  ponies,  she  has  not  had 
much    trouble.

of  Clarion  County's  dutiful  daughters 
After  attending  the  district  school 
where  she  was  a  very  promising  stu- 
dent, she  entered  the  Normal.  Her 
hobby  is  studying,  to  which  she  gives- 
all  her  spare  time.  There  is  a  story 
circulated  about  her  of  this  nature: 
robbers — ran  six  blocks — police  sta- 
tion— hallucination.  But  Margaret  is. 
always  consistent,  though  hoi*  mot  Lo- 
is,   "A  stitch  in  time  saves  nine." 


MILDRED  McQUAY. 
Mildred  JtfcQuay  was  born  in  Em-

the  hills.  She  was  graduated  from 
High  School  in  1909  with  highest  hun- 
ors,  but  wishing  to  further  her  edu- 
cation came  to  Clarion.  Her  cheerful 
disposition  scatters  sunshine  wherever 
she  goes  and  it's  needless  to  say  that 
her  influence  for  good  will  leave  a 
lasting  impression  upjn  her  class- 
mates. She  was  vies  president  of 
the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  and  en  account  of 
the  sickness  of  the  president  most  ef- 
fectively fulfilled  the  duties  01  presi-

This    is    another    member      of      our 

class  arid  one  to  whom  we  often  go 
for  advice,  especially  in  conscientious, 
affairs,  for  is  she  not  the  daughter  of 
a  minister?  Ruth  has  been  a  mem- 
ber of  many  schools.  However,  she 
says  that  the  C.  S.  N.  S.  holds  the 
most  attractions  for  her.  Wonder 
why?  Ruth  is  characterized  by  her 
lovable    disposition;    yet,    at    times    we 

hear    her    remark,    " ,    I    wont    love 

you  any  more."  Singing  is  one  of 
Ruth's  many  accomplishments,  and  it 
is  only  a  matter  of  time  until  she 
will  be  in  the  ranks  of  our  foremost. 
vocalists.

a  pleasant  word  and  a  smile  for  every-

Although  she  is  an  enthusiastic  mem-

has   for   her. 


LAURA  OVER. 
"With  her  red  cheeks  redder  still 
kissed  by  roses(?)  on  the  hill"  Laura 
began  her  delightful  career  near  the

with  her  limited  supply  of  knowledge 
sho  came  to  Claron  in  the  spring  of 
1909.  She  is  quiet  and  unassuming 
but  persistent  and  ambitious.  Her 
strongest  point  is  to  do  things  on  the 
quiet.  In  the  near  future  we  expect 
to  hear  of  Laura  teaching  little  In- 
d.ian  boys  on  the  plains  of  Oklahoma. 
Success  be  hers. 


HELEN  ESTELLA  PARKER. 
Helen  Estella  Parker  was  born  at 
Chicora,  Pa.  As  a  child  she  was  al- 
ways full  of  life  and  laughter  traits 
which  she  has  never  quite  outgrown. 
She  entered  the  Clarion  Normal  in  the 
fall  of  1909  and  joined  the  '11  band 
of  workers.  Her  favorite  study  is 
Physics  and  she  spends  most  of  her 
time  writing  notes.  When  she  com- 
pletes her  course  she  expects  to  be- 
come a  sedate  teacher  for  a  while  at 
least. 


FRANK    DANIEL    PFALLER. 

"Varsity  Foot  Ball",  "Pres.  or 
Tennis    Asso.,    "Class    Dramatist." 

Curly  John  had  existed  but  a  short 
time  under  the  code  of  laws  of  the 
Normal,  until  he  was  looked  upon  as 
a  notorious  "rough -houser".  His 
weakness,  as  a  Junior,  was  his  in- 
clination toward  t;ie  fairer  sex,  but 
as  he  grew  in  knowledge  and  wisdom, 
this  instinct,  which  must  have  been 
inherited,  rapidly  declined,  and  now 
he  is  an  active  member  of  the  T.  M. 
C.  A.  John  has  been  caught  at  al- 
most all  misdemeanors,  execept  study- 
ing. This  fact  has  occupied  no  less 
than  one  hour  per  k  eek  of  Dr.  Becht's 
valuable  time  (in  private  conference) 
trying  to  impress  upon  him  the  value 
of   work. 


ELLEN  PIKE. 
Ellen  Pike  was  born  in  Bradford, 
MeKean,  Co.  Her  earlier  education 
was  received  in  the  Bradford  Town- 
ship Schools,  and  in  19 —  she  was 
graduated  from  Bradford  High  School. 
After  teaching  a  year  she  entered  C. 
S.  N.  S.  where  by  diligence  and  per- 
severance she  completed  Junior,  Mid- 
dle and  part  of  S'enior  work  in  one 
year.  Ellen  has  never  thought  much 
of  the  sterner  sex.  so  she  says;  but  as 
she  is  a  "Pike"  she  would  not  be 
hard  to  catch  if  the  right  bait  were 
laid. 


LOIS  PORTER. 
Lois  Porter  first  began  to  torment 
her  parents  in  Rew  one  Sunny  April 
day.  She  continued  her  performan- 
ces until  her  parents  in  desperation 
shipped  her  to  Clarion,— much  to  her 
disgust.  Since  her  arrival  hero  she 
has  distinguished  herself  by  her  skill 
in  athletics  and  art,  being  well  known 
to  us  as  our  class  artist.  She  is  a 
happy-go-lucky  dreamer  and  few 
there  are  who  can  sleep  more  and 
study  less.  When  greatly  aroused 
she  has  been  known  to  give  vent  to 
her  feelings  in  that  classical  expres- 
sion, "I'm  in  wrong  again."  A  firm 
believer  in  midnight  feeas,  hobble- 
skirt  parades,  dancing  vn  the  green 
carpet,  and  skipping.  We  no  longer 
fear    that    she   will    be   left    on    Papa's

for  the  past  three  years.  Just  as 
soon  as  she  is  graduated,  she  expects 
to  go  west  to  get  big.  However  we 
never  thought  Hazel  would  be  a 
"school    marm."

GERTRUDE  RICHARDS. 
Independent,  kindhearted,  small  of 
stature  and  calm  is  our  dignitk-d 
friend  Gertie,  who  was  born  in  the 
city  of  Hazel  Hurst,  Pennsylvania. 
somewhere  back  in  the  sixties, — the 
exact  date  is  not  known.  She  is 
known  to  all  by  her  dignified  air  and 
her  smile  that  never  wears  away. 
Next  to  skipping  her  favorite  pastime 
is  giving  Senior  feasts  and  adminis- 
tering to  the  wants  of  the  sick.  She 
is   a   lover   of  art     and     perhaps     wili

Port  Allegheny  High  Schools;  from 
the  latter  she  was  giMdu.it-.;  in  'OS. 
After  teaching  a  year  Lulu  decided 
to  come  to  the  Normal  and  join  the 
class  of  1911.  Lulu  is  characterized 
by  her  sunny  disposition  and  quiet 
dignity  which  wins  friends  and  re- 
spect for  her  wherever  she  goes.  She 
is  a  very  active  member  of  the  Y.  W. 
C.  A.  holding  the  position  of  chairman 
of  the  Bible  Study  committee.  She 
is  greatly  loved  by  children  and  we 
can  predict  success  for  her  in  teach- 
ing, which  profession  she  intends  to 
follow— for  a  while  at  least.  "She  is 
tiue.  we  like  her  learning,  her  sin- 
cerity,   her    truth."

Pres.,  of  Class  1  year;  Business  man- 
ager for  S'equelle;  Varsity  Foot  Ball 
Franklin    Oratorical    Contestant;    Class 

Some  years  ago  the  people  of  Nin- 
evah.  were  aroused  by  the  vibrations 
of  a   gentle   voice.     This  was  Salter's 

and  it  vi brutes  much  of  the  time  yet. 
He   grew   and   waxed     strong.       While

C.  S.  N.  S.  in  the  spring  term  of  1907. 
He  then  taught  one  term,  toward  the 
the  great  west  and  returned  to  mingle 
his  joys  and  sorrows  with  the  class 
of  1911.  "Walt"  is  a  good  student 
and  a  gentleman  in  every  respect. 
He  expects  to  become  an  osteopath 
and  will  probably  begin  practice  in 
Sheffield  or  Kittanning.  May 
follow    him   wherever    he    goes. 


LILLIAN  SAYERS. 
Some  years  ago  a  little  cherub  en- 
tered the  Sayer's  home  near  New 
Bethlehem  and  was  duly  christened 
as  Lillian  Mae.  The  little  girl  grew 
fast  both  in  mind  and  body  and  in 
due  time  became  a  teacher.  After 
having  taught  successfully  for  sever- 
al years  she  came  to  dear  old  C.  S.  N. 
S.  and  now  is  one  of  the  "dignified 
Seniors."  Lillian  is  a  quiet  studious 
girl  and  a  model  in  behavior.  Her 
chief  delight  is  to  crack  jokes  with 
her  roommate.  Trigonometery  is  her 
favorite  study  yet  the  "logarithms" 
often  sooth  her  to  sleep  after  the 
clock  has  struck  ten.  May  she  have 
success  in  all  her  undertakings  and 
always  be  happy. 


BELLE  SNYDER. 
Belle  Snyder  first  began  her  event" 
ful  career  in  the  beautiful  month  of 
roses  when  she  alighted  from  an  auto 
at  her  father's  home  near  Parker, 
fe'oon  tiring  of  her  pleasant  home  here 
she  re-entered  the  car  and  the  chauf- 
feur dropped  her  at  Rimersburg, 
where  she  was  instructed  in  the  high- 
er arts  and  sciences.  Later  in  life 
wishing  to  visit  a  metropolis  she  de- 
cided to  come  to  Clarion.  Always 
loving  exciting  times  she  enrolled  as 
a  student  of  C.  S.  N.  S.  Here  she  is 
known  to  all  by  her  cheerful  voice  and 
happy  smile.  We  feel  sure  success 
will  attend  Belle  as  a  teacher  since 
she  is  a  great  favorite  with  the  little 
tots. 


FRANCES  H.  SCHOTT. 
Yesterday,  today  and  tomorrow. 
Frances  alighted  upon  this  old  dried, 
nebula  but  few  years  ago.  Although 
it  was  April  1st,  she  is  no  April  fool 
as  everyone  knows  who  is  acquainted 
with  her.  She  began  her  education 
in  the  Public  School  of  Clarion  and 
completed  the  course  with  the  famous 
class  of  1909.  She  then  cast  her  lot 
with  the  class  of  '11  at  tho  Normal. 
Frances  is  bright,  clever,  and  inclin- 
ed to  be  mischievous  no  matter  what 
comes  or  goes.  She  has  often  been 
called  the  "spring  poet"  for  she  can 
make  witty  rhymes.  She  intends  to 
be  a  school  teacher  and  declares  it 
will  last  many  years  for  she  has  al- 
ready fallen  in  love  with  the  work  in 
the  Model  School. 


BESSIE  SNYDER. 
Several  years  ago  while  hunting 
surroundings.  Bessie  Snyder,  another 
dignified  member  of  our  class,  came 
to  Clarion.  After  attending  the  Pub- 
lic School  for  some  time,  she  entered 
the  Normal  where  she  has  nerer 
failed  to  exhibit  the  sine  qua  non  of 
good         scholarship.  inquisuiveness 

However  she  never  fails  to  see  a 
point  when  it  is  clearly  illustrated. 
Although  German  is  her  favorite 
study,  she  cannot  comprehend  why 
native  Germans  don't  understand 
their  own  language.  But  for  all  that, 
we  believe  that  when  Bess  gets  to 
teaching  "thoroughness"  will  be  her 
\\  atchword.

H.  E.  hailed  in  from  McKees  Rocks 
and  joined  the  ll'ers  in  their  Junior 
year.  By  his  earnest  work,  amiable 
disposition  and  fascinating  smile  he 
won  the  favor  of  his  teachers  and 
classmates.  As  president  of  the  class 
he  deserves  much  credit  for  leading 
it  through  the  thick  and  the  thin, 
ever  setting  a  good  example  and  hold- 
ing before  his  followers  the  motto 
"Perse  verentia  omnia  vincit."  Re- 
gardless of  the  fact  that  he  was  rais- 
ed a  staunch  Methodist  he  has  de- 
veloped a  great  affinity  for  Knox  and 
has  seen  the  fruits  of  his  influence 
on  'Kike  and  Red'.  He  believes  in 
leading  the  ideal  life  but  cannot  re- 
sist the  temptation  of  .1  little  w  irk 
on  Sunday  if  it  might  result  in  a 
'pat',  but  pity  poor  Lowe  if  he  tells 
it.  Favorite  expression, — You're  try-

After  leaving  the  Males  Public  School 
he  entered  C.  S.  N.  S.  and  here  he 
has  always  maintained  a  high  stand-

his  heart  for  the  dear  girls,  and  un-

MAY  STERLEY. 
In  the  fall  of  1910  an  autumnal  wind 
wafted  the  star,  May  Elizabeth  Vas- 
binder  Sterley.  of  Reynoldsville  High 
School  into  Clarion.  Whence  she  came 
I  know  not.  She  Spent  a  year  in  Cin- 
cinnati where  she  was  advancing  her 
ear  culture  studying  telegraphy.  In 
this  she  became  very  proficient  as 
her  application  oi'  it  shows  .  When 
"Dad"  requested  a  concise  summary 
on  Sound  with  no  effort  or  worry,  she 
penned  one  of  twenty-five  pages.  Ac 
this  spurt  she  became  Daddy's  as- 
sistant of  Physics.  May's  chief  char- 
acteristic is  in  doing  what  she  should 
uld    not   always    do

GENEVA    STEVENS. 

One  bright  morning  the  little  city 
of  Randolph.  N.  Y..  was  made  still 
brighter,    when    a    quiet    little      maid, 


ed.  She  grew  up  very  quiet,  as  her 
present  demeanor  testifies.  She  at- 
tended several  schools,  among  them 
St.  Elizabeth's  Academy,  which  had 
a  still  more  quieting  effect.  S'inoe 
her  arrival  here  she  has  been  sought 
after  by  everyone,  the  faculty  includ- 
ed. She  is  a  member  of  the-  "Glee 
Club,"  F.  U  S..  Tennis  \s.s.„  1  niun 
and  Taka  Bita  Pi  Sorority.  Geneva's 
advice  to  inexperienced  under  gradu- 
ates is  "never  go  skipping".  She  is 
especially  fond  of  short  names  such 
as  "Dee"  (1st  year),  Zim  (2nd  year) 
and  Mutt  (3rd  year.)  Well  now- 
Well  I'll  be—  Well  little  did  I— Well 
isn't    that    the— Well. 


LORY    STRICKENBERG. 

Lory  Strickenberg  first  began  to 
smile  in  Forest  county  in  the  early 
'90's.  When  hut  a  poor  innocent 
youth  he  braved  the  fierce  struggle 
of  the  Junior  class,  and  has  worn  the 
ga u n tlets  ever  since.  He  is  an  en- 
thusiastic athlete  and  has  been  a 
baseball  wonder  for  the  last  two  sea- 
sons. We  predict  great  success  for 
him  in  the  field.  His  chief  trouble 
is  "tobacco,"  something  he  enjoys  so 
much.  Lory's  strong  point  is  even- 
temperedness  as  is  evident  from  his 
popularity   with    the    children. 


FLOYD  WEAVER. 
"I  am  Sir  Oracle  and  when  I  open' 
my  lips  to  speak  let  no  dog  bark."" 
Lloyd  having  learned  all  that  is- 
taught  at  the  Clarion  High  School, 
came  to  the  Normal  where  he  is  ex- 
ceedingly popular,  especially  with  the- 
girls.  He  was  one  of  the  best  players 
in  the  football  team  and  is  a  renown- 
ed rooter  at  the  basket  hall  games. 
His  favorite  study  is  Virgil  and  his 
favorite  poem  is  "An  Old  Sweetheart 
of  Mine."  Lloyd  played  the  part  of 
the  Dude  in  the  Thanksgiving  Play  to 
perfection.  His  sweet  voice  may  be 
heard  in  the  Senior  Quartette. 
"Handsome"  says  he  is  going  to  com- 
plete his  education  next  year  by  tak- 
ing a  business  course  at  Franklin. 
He  is  a  member  of  the  Franklin  Lit- 
erary  Society. 


CHARLOTTE  TRUBY. 
The  subject  of  this  sketch  drifted 
into  Clarion  last  spring  as  a  fore- 
runner of  State  Board.  This  dark 
haired,  sunny  Fraulein  proved  to  be 
Charlotte  Trubv,  of  Kittanning  High 
School.  Her  good  n'atured  ways  have 
won  for  her  many  friends.  Accord- 
ing to  rumor  Chaolrtt's  "hobby"  is 
accompanying  one  of  the  faculty  to 
church  on  rainy  Sabb.it h  evenings. 
Her  favorite  studios  are  Public-speak- 
ing and  Chapel.  She  loves  to  study 
at  all  times  of  night  and  day;  per- 
haps this  will  explain  her  great  love 
for  anything  resembling  ein  schones 
helles  Licht.  Success  to  our  class- 
mate. 


AGUSTINE  H.  WE1TZ. 
Our  worthy  editor  in-chief  was  bred, 
born  and  raised  in  the  city  of  Clar- 
ion duringthe  nineteenth  and  twent- 
ieth centuries.  He  entered  the  C.  S. 
N.  S.  as  a  member  of  the  Junior  class 
of  1911  and  had  enough  stick toitive- 
ness  to  see  himself  graduated.  Gus 
has  a  roaming  disposition  and  gener- 
ally seeks  satisfaction  on  the  river 
hills.  He  knows  not  much  else  than 
work.  Photography  has  been  his  hob- 
by for  some  time  but  since  he  lias 
met  with  such  great  success  in  teach- 
ing in  the  Model  school  and  has  ac- 
quired a  love  for  children  he  intends, 
to  take  up  kindergarten  work  in  the- 
future.     We    wish    you    success,    Gus, 


NETTIE  WILSON. 
Nettie  alighted  on  this  earth  at 
Freedom  but  being  dissatisfied  with 
the  place  that  fate  assigned  her  she 
came  to  Clarion  to  join  the  class  of 
1911.  She  is  known  by  her  familiar 
little  giggle,  although  small  she  act- 
ually works  a  little  "fusses"  some  and 
laughs  always.  Although  she  has  a

ERDIE  WOLF. 
Erdie  first  made  her  appearance  at 
Wolf's  Corners.  As  it  is  such  a  cozy 
corner  she  has  never  wished  to  leave. 
She  says  "I  have  always  been  here 
and  here  I  shall  always  remain." 
After  considering  the  matter  careful- 
ly she  decided  to  make  teaching  har 
profession  so  she  came  to  C.  S.  N.  S. 
and  joined  the  class  of  '11.  We  have 
no  doubt  of  her  success  as  a  teacher 
and  we  are  sure  that  she  will  have 
at  least  one  pupil.  Erdie  is  a  jolly 
fun  loving  girl  and  never  wishes  to 
miss  a  good  time.  She  thinks  that 
too  much  study  is  a  weariness  to  the 
soul.  Her  motto  seems  to  be ;  Sleep 
while  others  work  and  work  (by  the 
little    candle)    while    others    sleep.

MIDDLE  YEAR  CLASS  HISTORY 


It  is  with  great  pleasure  that  we  contemplate 
recording  the  history  of  this  Middle  Glass.  On 
the  thirteenth  of  September  1909,  there  came  to  the 
C.  S.  X.  S.  a  group  of  one  hundered  twenty  students 
who  later  found  the  class  of  1912.  Upon  our  ar- 
rival we  were  met  by  the  faculty  and  students  who 
gave  us  a  cordial  welcome  to  the  school. 

Then  at  the  end  of  the  winter  term  came  the 
Gymnasium  exhibition  in  which  the  Juniors  played 
an  important  part.  In  the  spring  of  1910  the  class 
gave  a  reception  on  the  Campus.  It  was  a  decided 
success  and  also  proved  to  be  very  entertaining. 
When  the  State  Board  came  we  all  tried  our  very 
best  to  keep  up  our  courage  during  the  seige  of  Ex- 
aminations and  ..were  rewarded  when  we  were  all 
called  into  chapel  at  three  o'clock  and  heard  we  had 
all  passed.  As  we  filed  out  of  the  Chapel  we  saw 
our  flag  floating  proudly  between  the  flags  of  the 
Seniors  and  Middlers  on  the  top  of  Seminary  Hall. 
This  marked  the  end  of  our  first  year  at  Clarion 
Normal. 

In  September  1910  after  a  short  vacation  we 


came  back  to  again  take  up  the  work  at  the  school. 
The  class  was  recognized  and  the  following  officer* 
were  elected:  President,  Mr.  Chitester;  Recording 
Secretary,  Miss  Park;  Corresponding  Secretary, 
-Miss  Dunkle;  Treasurer,  Mr.  Dinger.  <  In  the. 
eighteenth  of  Feb.  1911  the  class  gave  another  re- 
ception. The  program  was  well  carried  out  and  a 
play,  "The  Register,"  was  given,  after  which  the 
members  of  the  faculty  and  student  body  were  en- 
tertained in  Stevens  Hall. 

In  the  winter  term  the  class  basket  ball  games- 
were  played.  The  Seniors  carried  the  Laurels  from 
the  first  game  and  the  Middle  team  came  out  vie 
torious  over  the  Juniors.  The  Gymnasium  Exhibi- 
tion was  given  the  last  Monday  night  of  the  winter 
term.  The  Middler  boys  and  girls  played  an  im- 
portant part  in  the  exhibitions.  In  the  Spring  a 
class  base  ball  team  was  organized  and  they  played 
many  good  games..  At  last  State  Board  again  ar- 
rived and  the  efforts  of  all  were  rewarded.  This 
has  been  the  history  of  the  class  to  the  present  time,, 
and  we  hope  to  make  the  future  even  brighter. 


MIDDLE  YEAR  CLASS  POEM 

As  the  ray  of  a  little  candle, 
Spreads  its  beams  of  kindly  light, 
So  our  mighty  class,  the  Middlers, 
Try  to  do  what's  just  and  right. 

Last  year  we  were  happy  Juniors, 
Although  our  work  was  hard  ; 
And  at  times  we  were  disgusted 
With  the  paths  which  we  had  trod. 

But  by  hard  and  tedious  working 
We  became  the  Middlers  grand,      _:_. 
And  are  making  "life  worth  while" 
By  a  strong  and  mighty  hand. 

Geometry  with  its  lines  and  angles, 
History,  mathematics  and  art, 
And  even  mighty  Caesar 
We  will  conquer  before  we  depart. 

As  our  numbers  are  increasing, 
We  will  be  a  class  of  might; 
And  we'll  do  our  duty  ever, 
And  be  true  to  Red  and  White. 

— R.  A.  W. 


MIDDLE  YEAR  CLASS  SONG. 

Come,  boys  and  girls  of  1912, 

We  are  the   Middlers  bright, 
We  study  hard,  we  never  shirk 

From   morning  until   night. 
We  pass  the  green  Juniors  by. 

With  their  silly  little  grin; 
The  Seniors  open  wide  their  eyes 

When  they  see  us  digging  in. 

Chorus. 

What's  the  matfer  with  1912? 

It's  all  right. 
What's  the  matter  with  Red  and  White? 

It's  all  right. 
You'll  not  find  a  jollier  band 
As  you  travel  o'er  sea  and  land. 
What's  the  matter  with  1912? 

It's  simply  grand. 

Oh,  we're  a  bunch  of  Middler  kids, 

And  jolly  as  can  be; 
We  play  our  pranks  and  shed  our  tears, 

Until  we  cannot  see; 
'Tis  teacher  this,  and  teacher  that 

And  teacher  dear  some  more, 
Such  happiness  was  never  known 

In  C.  N.  S.  before. 
Chords.

JUNIOR  CLASS  HISTORY 


It  was  on  a  September  evening  as  the  train 
slowly  drew  into  Clarion,  that  we  got  our  first 
glimpse  of  0.  S.  N.  S.  which  was  to  be  ouc  future 
home  for  several  winters.  The  first  day  filled  us 
with  dread  and  awe,  but  the  older  students  were 
so  kind  to  us  that  this  feeling  soon  passed  away  and 
within  a  few  days,  we  settled  down  to  the  routine 
of  Normal  life. 

The  faculty  did  everything  in  their  power  to 
make  us  feel  at  home.  On  the  Saturday  evening 
following  our  arrival  a  reception  was  given  by  the 
Christian  Association  in  honor  of  all  the  new 
students,  and  before  the  evening  was  over,  we  had 
become  acquainted  with  a  great  number  of  the 
students. 

In  the  early  part  of  October  1910  we  organized 
our  class  and  elected  our  class  officers.  Fred 
Wright  was  chosen  1'resident,  Regina  Matthews 
Recording  Secretary,  Jane  Leach  Treasurer  and 
Gertrude  ('arson  Corresponding  Secretary.  The 
class  colors  selected  were  Blue  and  White,  but  as  a 
dislike  was  shown  for  these  colors  by  many  in  our 
class,  another  meeting  was  called  in  which  Pink  and 
Gray  were  chosen  as  the  colors  which  should  be  the 
emblem  of  our  class  through  the  remaining  years 
of  our  Normal  life.  At  the  same  time  a  committee 
was  appointed  to  compose  the  Class  Song  and  Class 
Yells. 

As  the  Fall  term  slowly  drew  to  a  close  our 
hearts  were  filled  with  dread  at  the  thought  of  ex- 
amination under  the  faculty,  but  as  the  train  drew 
out  from  the  station  our  fears  were  all  forgotten  in 
the  thoughts  of  a  happy  vacation. 

Returning  January  3,  we  took  up  our  studies  for 


the  Winter  term  with  new  zeal.  Some  of  our  former 
classmates  did  not  return,  and  some  new  faces  ap- 
peared in  our  ranks.  Time  passed  and  the  next  im- 
portant event  for  our  class  was  the  basketball  game 
between  the  Juniors  and  Middlers.  Excitement 
reigned  supreme  as  we  gathered  in  the  gymnasium 
to  witness  the  game,  and  as  our  boys  took  their 
places  on  the  floor  cheer  after  cheer  arose  from  the 
spectators.  But  our  hearts  sank  as  our  boys  slow- 
ly lost. 

The  term  ended  with  the  annual  Gym  Exhibi- 
tion in  the  old  dining  room  of  Stevens  Hall.  One  of 
the  interesting  features  was  the  work  of  the  Junior 
boys  and  girls.  The  class  colors  were  used  and  made 
a  very  attractive  display. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  Spring  term  the  num- 
ber in  our  class  was  nearly  doubled.  As  our  Pres- 
ident did  not  return,  a  meeting  was  held  in  which 
Mr.  Arno  Thompson,  formerly  vice  president,  was 
elected  president  and  Mr.  Finley  Wyant  vice  presi- 
dent. 

The  Junior  reception  was  an  event  of  great  im- 
portance, for  never  before  in  the  history  of  C.  S.  N. 
S.  was  such  a  reception  held.  The  campus  was  dec 
orated  beautifully  witli  our  class  colors  and  lan- 
terns were  hung  from  tree  to  tree.  The  program, 
which  had  been  prepared  with  great  care,  was  well 
received  by  the  audience,  especially  the  music  by 
the  orchestra. 

Thus, -you  see,  we  have  a  class  to  be  proud  of. 
Imagine  if,jou  can  what  it  will  be  like  in  two  years 
hence  when  more  matured  and  with  more  training 
its  members  go  out  to  combat  in  the  struggle  of  life. 


JUNIOR  CLASS  POEM 

Come,  classmates,  step  forth  into  glory, 
Each  to  tell  his  own  little  story: 
How  each  one  is  preparing,  faithful  and  true, 
Some  noble  work  in  Hie  future  to  do. 

We  are  unexcelled   in   beauty  or  charm, 

But  by  this  we  do  Seniors  and   Mids  no  harm. 

To  our  boys  and  girls  there  is  some  class, 

And  we  all  work  like  troopers  State  Board  to  pass. 

Some  future  day  the  leading  we'll  do, 
And  be  looked  up  to — by  not  only  a  few, 
For  even  the  faculty  will  have  to  smile 
And  admit  that  they  too  like  our  style. 

With  our  worthy  leader  we'll  come  thro'  the  fray, 
Tinder  our  most  noted  colors — Pink  and  Gray; 
Then  at  the  top  of  every  good  record  can  be  seen 
In  bold  tetters— Class  of  1913. 

— M.  G. 


JUNIOR  CLASS  SONG 

We  are  the  Glass  of  1913. 
Although  we  look  young 
We're  not  so  green. 

Rah!     Rah!     Rah! 
We're  not  discouraged 
Though   things  go  wrong, 
Cheer  for  the  Pink  and  Gray, 

Rah!      Rah!     Rah! 
We're  bound  to  get  there, 
We're  bound  to  win, 
We're  not  as  tame  as  others  have  been 

Rah!      Rah!     Rah! 
Though  you  may  doubt  it, 
Just  wait  and  see. 
Cheer   for   the   victory, 

Rah!     Rah!     Rah!

THE  MODEL  SCHOOL 


What  is  the  Model  School?  To  us,  as  Seniors, 
it  is  a  school  of  practice,  wherein  we  strive  to  per- 
fect ourselves  in  the  art  of  teaching.  We  here  put 
to  test  what  we  have  learned  in  the  Normal,  prove 
our  capacities  and  develop  the  qualities  which 
make  most  for  future  success.  Here,  we  learn  to 
do  by  doing. 

We  find  in  this  department,  one  hundred  five 
immature  minds  which  must  receive  all  their  train- 
ing as  far  as  the  Junior  year  of  the  Normal,  from 
the  Student  Teacher,  who  in  turn  is  under  the  sup 
ervision  of  a  thoroughly  trained  and  competent 
Critic  Teacher. 

We  all  feel  the  responsibility  of  the  position, 
for,  however  frivolous  we  be  in  our  regular  daily 
lives,  when  we  enter  the  sacred  precincts  of  the 
Model  School,  we  are  apparently  transformed  into 
stern  and  sedate  instructors.  Indeed,  at  times  it 
is  very  necessary  that  we  be  stern,  as  we  soon  dis- 
cover that  all  our  success  as  teachers  depends  up- 
on our  ability  to  govern. 

Sometimes  we  find  a  disciplinary  problem, 
which,  with  our  limited  experience  we  cannot 
solve.  The  only  solution  then  possible  is  to  send 
the  miscreant  to  the  training  teacher,  from  whose 
presence  he  returns,  meek  and  entirely  governable. 
Each  student,  during  his  Senior  year,  is  reT 
quired  to  teach  in  the  Model  School,  forty-five  min- 
utes daily,  for  at  least  twenty  weeks.  To  prepare 
for  this  work,  we  must  each  make  an  outline  of  the 
subject  matter  to   be  taught   the   following  week. 


This  outline,  or  lesson  plan,  is  submitted  to  the  crit- 
ic teacher  for  corrections  or  suggestions.  A  detail- 
ed course  of  study  is  in  the  process  of  development 
and  will  be  ready  for  use  at  the  beginning  of  next 
year.  This  course  will  greatly  aid  in  the  making 
of  plans. 

Besides  the  practice  training,  we  must  meet 
the  Critic  Teacher  weekly  to  receive  instructions  in 
Methods  and  to  talk  over  with  her  our  difficulties, 
both  those  which  we  have  found  and  those  which 
she  has  perceived  during  the  week.  If  we  have  in- 
dividual faults,  we  are  met  privately  and  these  faults 
are  pointed  out  to  us.  However  this  criticism  is  giv- 
en in  a  most  kindly  manner. 

This  work  demands  that  we  be  constantly  alert. 
There  is  no  chance  for  idle  dreaming  as  the  chil- 
dren must  be  kept  busy  and  interested.  Many  times 
we  become  discouraged  with  our  work  and  wonder 
whether  we  were  really  born  to  teach.  At  such 
times  we  look  forward  to  the  teaching  period  with 
distaste  and  dread.  Then  again,  we  become  greatly 
elated  over  some  visible  success  or  some  words  of 
commendation  from  our  training  teacher,  and  feel 
that  the  time  spent  in  the  Model  School  is  the  hap- 
piest of  the  day.  All  in  all,  this  department  of  the 
school  life  is  one  of  the  most  interesting.  We  strive 
to  get  from  it  what  it  aims  to  give  us — efficiency, 
morally,  mentally  and  intellectually,  so  that  we  may 
be  able  to  take  the  initiative  in  the  work  for  which 
we  are  training. 


KINDERGARTEN 


THE  KINDERGARTEN 


Colors 
Baby  Blue  and  Milk  White. 

The  Kindergarten,  an  attractive  feature  of  the 
Normal  have  twenty-five  bright  and  winsome  little 
"kinders"  in  attendance. 

The  children,  on  arriving  in  the  morning, 
sing  a  Good  Morning  Song  to  bring  them  into  har- 
mony with  each  other  as  members  of  the  kindergar- 
ten family.  Another  song  relating  to  the  weather 
or  to  some  feature  of  the  season  usually  follows  to 
bring  about  the  larger  harmony  between  them  and 
nature  in  her  varying  moods  and  manifestation. 
The  devotional  song  which  follows  this  has  the 
same  general  purpose,  to  lead  the  children's 
thoughts  to  the  ultimate  source  of  unity,  harmony 
and  love  and  to  put  them  into  conscious  relation 
with  it. 

After  this  comes  the  talk  or  story.  The  topics 
taken  up  are  those  which  are  near  the  surface  of 
the  children's  interests.  In  each  talk  or  story,  the 
purpose  is  to  bring  out  some  truth  or  illustrate 
some  general  principle  on  the  basis  of  the  children's 
own  observation  and  experience. 

The  following  outline  of  topics  taken  up  in  the 
kindergarten  the  past  year  will  serve  to  illustrate 
the  general  nature  of  the  work.  During  Autumn, 
the  work  aimed  to  illustrate  progressively  the  prin- 
ciple of  co-operation,  by  showing  how  everybody 
helped  in  the  preparation  for  winter.  This  involv- 
ed visits,  real  and  imaginary,  to  the  garden,  farm, 


Flower 
Spank  Weed 

coal-yard  and  store.  "Mother  Nature"  was  next 
considered  and  this  called  for  a  study  of  natural 
products,  grains,  fruits  and  vegetables.  This 
naturally  led  to  the  Thanksgiving  festival  and  the 
story  of  the  first  Thanksgiving  Winter  phenomena 
and  activities  followed  with  the  preparation  for 
the  winter  holidays,  Christmas  and  New  Years. 

Stories  of  life  in  cold  countries,  occupied  the 
month  of  January,  the  simplicity  of  Eskimo  Life, 
like  that  of  the  Pilgrims,  helping  the  children  to 
understand  and  appreciate  our  more  complex  civil- 
ization. This  led  to  the  study  of  Lincoln  and  Wash- 
ington and  stories  of  bravery  and  courage,  and  the 
work  was  continued  until  the  awakening  of  Nature 
began  to  absorb  the  children's- attention. 

The  Seniors  who  have  had  their  practice  work 
in  this  department  have  done  splendid  work.  They 
have  had  charge  of  this  morning  talk  which  corres- 
ponds in  a  measure  to  the  opening  exercises  in  the 
up-to-date  school  and  like  these  it  gives  in  a  degree 
the  key-note  for  the  day.  Another  part  of  the 
work  in  which  the  Seniors  assist  is  the  occupation 
period.  In  this  period  the  children  play  games, 
and  sew  or  have  some  sort  of  play  which  rests 
them  after  the  work  of  the  morning. 

The  students  who  teach  in  this  department 
have  as  their  instructor  a  teacher  especially  trained 
in  Kindergarten  work. 


FRANKLIN  SOCIETY  OFFICERS 


BANCROFT  SOCIETY  OFFICERS 


THE  LITERARY  SOCIETIES 


Among  the  various  organizations  of  our  school 
the  Literary  Societies  stand  out  very  prominently 
as  ideal  organizations.  Bach  student  is  chosen  a 
member  of  one  or  the  other  of  the  two  societies.  The 
earnestness  and  willingness  on  the  part  of  the  mem- 
bers to  advance  the  work  of  their  particular  society 
shows  that  they  fully  realize  the  opportunities  giv- 
en them  to  develop  their  literary  capacities. 

The  chief  aim  of  the  societies  is  to  give  every 
member  an  opportunity  to  cultivate  their  literary 
talents  and  help  prepare  him  for  his  future  work 
Meetings  are  held  every  week  in  the  Normal  Audi- 
torium, the  two  societies  alternating  with  each  other. 
The  themes  of  the.  meetings  are  planned  by  a  com- 
mittee chosen  by  the  president  of  the  particular  or- 
ganization. As  the  programs  for  the  school  year  of 
1911  have  been  especially  interesting,  they  have 
rested  many  a  weary  mind  and  have  afforded  de- 
lightful entertainment  after  the  monotonous  routine 
of  the  week. 

It  is  impossible  to  describe  all  the  interesting 
and  profitable  programs  which  have  been  rendered 


this  year,  but  several  extraordinarily  good  ones 
which  proved  the  ability  and  efficiency  of  the  socie- 
.  ties,  deserve  mention.  In  the  Fall  term  the  Frank- 
lins gave  a  complete  court  trial  which  was  skillful- 
ly planned  and  carried  out.  The  Bancrofts  devoted 
one  of  their  evenings  to  the  subject  of  Politics,  which 
was  discussed  by  the  girls  as  well  as  the  boys.  In 
the  Spring  term  the  Bancroft  Society  gave  an  ex- 
cellent illustration  of  an  ideal  May  Day.  This  was 
followed  by  a  visit  to  Japan,  given  by  the  Franklin- 
ites.  The  effective  work  which  has  been  done  by 
both  societies  shows  that  they  are  about  equal  in 
standing. 

The  excellency  of  the  ability  of  the  two  societies 
which  has  been  obtained  through  practice  during 
I  he  year,  will  be  tested  in  the  Fifth  Annual  Contest 
in  June.  In  the  last  contest,  the  Franklinites  with 
their  purple  and  white,  carried  off  the  honors,  hav- 
ing surpassed  their  opponents  by  two  points.  But 
the  Baucrol'ters,  with  their  white  and  gold,  still 
carry  their  banners  high  and  both  organizations  are 
striving  to  keep  up  and  advance  their  excellent 
records. 


Y.  M.  C.  A-  CABINLT 


YOUNG  MEN'S  CHRISTIAN  ASSOCIATION 


The  Young  Men's  Christian  Association  is  an 
important  factor  among  us.  It  offers  to  young  men 
an  opportunity  to  keep  in  touch  with  Christian 
work,  and  provides  for  the  equal  development  of 
both  mind  and  heart.  The  work  of  the  association 
encroaches  on  no  other  branch  of  activity  in  the 
instituiton.  It  is  a  silent  force  working  for  good. 
The  work  that  is  performed  by  its  members  is  volun- 
tarily offered  as  a  service  to  their  fellow  students 
in  the  name  of  the  holy  Nazarene. 

At  the  opening  of  the  School  year,  it  takes  up- 
on itself  duties  that  are  most  naturally  suited  to 
such  an  organization.  The  reception  and  entertain- 
ment of  new  students  is  the  work  toward  which  all 
efforts  are  directed  during  the  first  week.  Through- 
out the  year  weekly  meetings  are  held  for  prayer 
and  testimony.  These  meetings  are  usually  led  by 
one  of  our  own  number;  although  we  have  institut- 


ed a  new  idea  during  the  past  year,  and  have  been 
successful  in  securing  six  of  the  influential  busi- 
ness men  to  address  the  meetings. 

We  received  valuable  instruction  and  inspira- 
tion from  the  new  State  Student  Secretary,  Irvin 
E.  Deer,  who  visited  us  Jan.  11,  also  Mr.  Wells,  the 
Chinese  Missionary,  brought  us  a  splendid  message 
of  the  work  done  there. 

The  Bible  Study  classes  meet  every  Sunday, 
that  those  who  wish  may  add  to  their  other  studies 
a  greater  knowledge  of  the  Book  of  books.  We 
have  studied  with  interest  "The  Parables  of  Jesus"', 
"The  Miracles  of  Jesus"  by  Wm.  H.  Sallmon. 

Three  delegates  were  sent  to  the  State  Conven- 
tion at  West  Chester,  Pa. 

The  Association  at  Clarion  has  had  a  prosper- 
ous past,  is  flourishing  at  present,  and  all  indica- 
tions point  to  a  successful  future.     H.  E.  S.  '11. 


Y.  W.  C   A.  CABINET 


YOUNG  WOMEN'S  CHRISTIAN  ASSOCIATION 


One  of  the  strongest,  and  most  influential  or- 
ganizations within  our  school  is  the  Y.  W.  C.  A. 
It  has  at  present  one  hundred  and  seventy  two 
members,  and  is  expected  that  this  number  will 
soon  be  increased.  It  is  the  one  organization  that 
brings  the  girls  of  the  school  into  closer  relation- 
ship with  each  other,  making  each  one  feel  that  some 
one  has  a  personal  interest  in  her  and  that  she  is 
needed  in  the  work  of  the  Association. 

In  June  1910  the  officers  of  the  Association  for 
the  year  1911  were  installed  and  made  their  plans 
for  the  opening  of  the  school  in  September. 

During  1he  summer  the  President  sent  a  word 
of  greeting  to  all  of  the  girls  who  were  expected  to 
come  to  the  school  for  the  first  time  in  September. 
On  the  opening  day  of  school  the  new  girls  were 
met  by  the  committees  appointed  for  that  purpose 
and  were  taken  to  the  offices  for  regis! ration. 
shown  to  their  rooms,  and  made  acquainted  with 
teachers  and  students  at  the  Normal. 

The  first  Saturday  evening  of  each  term,  the 
Y.  M.  and  Y.  W.  have  a  joint  reception  for  the  stu- 


dents and  faculty.  The  aim  of  this  reception  is  to 
make  the  students  better  acquainted  with  one  an- 
other. The  evening  is  generally  spent  in  various, 
kinds  of  amusements  and  delicate  refreshments  are 
always  served.  The  Association  holds  meetings  on 
Wednesday  evening  of  each  week.  These  meetings 
are  planned  at  the  beginning  of  each  term  by  the 
Devotional  Oommittee  and  a  student  leader  is  ap- 
pointed I'm-  each  mee'ing.  Every  Sunday  evening 
the  V.  M.  and  V.  W.  have  joint  meetings,  which 
are  held  in  the  chapel ;  at  these  times  the  different 
ministers  of  the  town  or  some  other  prominent 
speaker  often  addresses  the  students. 

At  different  times  during  the  year  conventions 
are  held  throughout  the  states  at  which  delegates 
from  the  different  Associations  meet  and  discuss 
the  problems  pertaining  to  the  work  of  the  Associa- 
tion. Last  June  our  Association  sent  to  the  sum- 
mer Conference  at  Granville,  Ohio,  Emma  Chris- 
tian and  Mildred  McQuay  to  represent  them  at  that 
place.  In  October  Misses  Anna  Steele  and  Har- 
riett Hayes  were  sent  as  delegates  to  the  Convention 
at  Wilkesbarre.

THE  MUSIC  DEPARTMENT 


■"And  (lie  night  shall  be  filled  with  music. 
And  the  cares  that  infest  the  day. 

Shall  Cold  their  tents  like  ihe  Arabs 
And  as  silently  steal  away." 

The  love  of  music  has  been  so  universal  that 
scarcely  any  one  can  be  found  who  will  confess  an 
indifference  to  it.  From  time  immemorial  it  has 
been  one  of  the  recognized  Arts  of  the  nations. 

The  Music  Department  of  the  Clarion  State 
Normal  School  is  one  of  the  best  equipped  depart- 
ments to  be  found  in  any  similar  institution  of  the 
State.  It  is  under  the  supervision  of  Miss  Mar- 
garet Reutter  who  is  a  graduate  of  the  Conserva- 
tory of  Music  of  Wilson  College.  She  has  hud 
training  under  the  most  celebrated  New  York  Con 
cert  singers  and  has  proved  a  very  capable  and 
efficient  instructor  in  both  voice  and  piano.  This 
Department  furnishes  many  interesting  numbers 
for  the  program  of  the  Literary  Societies  which  are 
held  alternately  every  Saturday  evening.  From 
time  to  time  very  entertaining  and  instructive  pub- 
lic Recitals  are  given  by  the  music  students.  The 
Recitals  consist  of  vocal  solos,  duets  and  quartettes, 
as  well  as  instrumental  solos  and  duets  and  many 
pleasing  numbers  by  the  Glee  Club  and  Orchestra. 
Selections  from  celebrated  oratorios  and 
operas  are  frequently  rendered  by  the  Girl's  Glee 
Club, — an  organization   formed  for  the     study     of 


master  pieces  of  the  great  composers.  The  Glee 
Club  consists  of  about  fifty  numbers,  and,  as  it  is 
open  to  all  the  girls  of  ihe  School  it  affords  a 
splendid  opportunity  for  tin-  cultivation  of  classic 
and  artistic  taste  in  music. 

Another  important  feature  of  this  Department 
is  the  ( 'lariou  State  Normal  Orchestra  which  is 
conducted  by  Mr.  Rohr.  The  Orchestra  is  in  great 
demand,  and  plays  a  large  part  in  the  entertain- 
ments and  social  functions  given  by  the  School. 
At  present  it  consists  of  twenty  pieces,  and  any 
one  who  plays  any  orchestral  ins'rumeut  is  per- 
mitted to  join. 

The  School  has  an  organized  Ladies'  Quartette 
and  a  Male  Quartette.  The  members  of  the  Ladies' 
Quartette  are:  First  Soprano,  Florence  Craig; 
Second  Soprano,  .Mildred  Kribbs;  First  Alto, 
Ruth  HafHy;  Second  Alto,  Alice  McCullough. 

The  members  of  I  he  .Male  Quartette  are:  First 
Tenor,  Harry  Stall lman ;  Second  Tenor,  Frank 
1'1'aller;  First  Rass,  Arnold  Heeter;  Second 
Bass,  Lloyd  Weaver. 

In  our  school  life  as  well-  as  in  our  after  life 
that  music  is  a  necessity  and  not  a  luxury.  If  it 
were  to  be  eliminated  for  a  time,  as  Clippinger  has 
said,  "(here  would  be  such  an  up  rising  as  would 
make  our  present  day  labor  look  like  a  festival.*' 
Of  all  the  powers  that  make  us  forget  our  toils 
none  is  so  efficient  as  music.

BROWN'S  IN  TOWN 


Scenes  from 
"BROWN'S  IN  TOWN' 


SENIOR  CLASS  PLAY 


One  of  the  most  delightful  seasons  of  the  year 
is  Thanksgiving,  with  its  annual  basket  ball  games, 
its  one  big  dinner  of  the  year,  and,  most  important 
of  all,  the  Senior  Class  Play. 

The  play  is  always  looked  forward  to  by  those 
of  the  school,  together  with  those  who  'expect  to 
spend  their  Thanksgiving  with  friends  here.  To  the 
Senior  Class  it  means  more  than  an  evening's  en- 
tertainment. If  the  presentation  is  good  and  the 
play  well  received,  it  means  a  large  success. 

The  Play  this  year  was  "Brown's  in  Town,"  by 
Mark  Swan,  a  comedy  of  the  lighter  type.  The  play 
was  full  of  life  aid  rction  and  was  pleasing  in  ev- 
ery way.  The  manner  in  which  it  was  received 
showed  that  it  was  effectively  presented.  The  cast- 
was  as  follows : 


Dick  PresJon,  the  son,  Arnold  E.  Heeter 

Abel  Preston,  his  father,  August.  H.  Weitz 

Arthur  Howard,  a  dentist,  J.  Judd  Merryman 

Worth  Carew,  a  gentleman  of  leisure,  Lloyd  Weaver 
Pollock,  the  gardener  Frank  Pfaller 

Susanne  Dacre,  who  knows  a  thing  or  two 

Ruth  Lobaugh 
Letty,  Dick's  wife  Jessie  Mather 

Freda,  von  Hollenbeck,  a  German  heiress, 

Emma  Christian 
Primrose,  the  lady  cook  with  a  reputation, 

'Alice  Feustamaker 

Scenes — Act  I  and  II — Lawn  in  front  of  Dick's 
cottage.  Act  III— Living  room  in  the  cottage.  Time 
— Present  day.  * 


Act  I — Synopsis — Dick  Preston,  college  student 
marries — goes  home  to  break  news  to  his  father — 
learns  that  the  latter  is  opposed  to  his  marrying,  at 
least  until  he  is  twenty-five — endeavors  to  keep  mar- 
riage secret  until  he  has  reached  that  age — Primrose 
and  Pollock  suspicious — Miss  Dacre  and  her  escort 
Mr.  Carew,  stop  at  the  cottage — Miss  Dacre  surpris- 
ed to  find  two  of  her  friends — they  confide  in  her — 
Arthur  Howard,  a  friend  of  Dick's  next  appears — 
Dick  endeavors  to  conceal  the  truth  from  him,  says 
that  Miss  Dacre  is  Mrs.  Brown — Primrose  appears 
and  addresses  him  as  Mr.  Brown — Howard  makes 
love  to  Letty  in  Dick's  presence — Dick  cannot  inter 
fere  because  he  has  led  Howard  to  think  Miss  Dacre 
is  his  wife — Mr.  Preston  learns  of  Dick's  wherea- 
bouts— come  to  visit  him — efforts  to  conceal  facts 
redoubled — father  irascible — makes  things  lively. 

Act  II. — Synopsis — Further  complications — 
Dick's  father  thinks  that  Howard  is  Brown — offers 
to  pay  him  for  damaging  kitchen — sight  of  roll  of 
bills  tempts  Howard  to  call  himself  Brown — later 
Abel  meets  Letty — he  hears  Primrose  address  her 
as  Mrs.  Brown — concludes  that  Howard  is  her  hus- 
band— Freda  appears — she  is  looking  for  Howard — 
claims  him  as  her  sweetheart — Abel  thinks  she  means 
Dick — becomes  very  much  excited — tries  to  straight 
en  matters — Susanne  appears  and  claims  Howard  as 
her  husband — Mr.  Preston  horrified. 

Act  III — Synopsis — Letty  and  Susanne  quarrel 
over  the  respective  merits  of  "Dick"  and  "Arthur'' — 
Susanne  betrays  her  interest  in  the  latter — Abel  de- 
mands an  explanation  of  affairs — his  mention  of 
Utah  suggests  to  Howard  the  feasibility  of  declar- 
ing himself  a  Mormon — Carew  appears — Susanne 
refuses  to  go  back  to  town  with  him — Letty  and 
Freda  cause  further  embarassment   by   conflicting 


stories  to  Mr.  Preston — Abel  finally  learns  the  trutlr 
— he  forgives  Dick — Howard  and  Susanne  announce 
their  engagement. 

"O,  what  a  tangled  web  we  weave, 
When  first  we  practice  to  deceive." 

Each  character  was  well  selected  and  the  vim 
and  motion  that  was  put  into  each  part  showed  abil- 
ity and  determination  to  win  on  the  part  of  the- 
players.  The  quickness  with  which  Arnold  Heeter 
as  Dick  Preston  could  hoodwink  his  father  and  still 
keep  close  watch  over  Letty,  his  wife,  so  that  she- 
might  be  saved  from  any  embarassments,  won  fol- 
ium much  applause.  Dick's  only  difficulty  was,  that 
every  time  he  thought  everything  was  arranged,  eith- 
er Freda  or  Primrose  would  appear,  breaking  into- 
his  conversations  and  causing  him  many  narrow  es- 
capes. To  Mr.  'Weitz  as  Abel  Preston,  a  large  amount 
of  credit  is  due.  Abel,  much  baffled  at  the  strange- 
ness of  affairs  at  the  Brown  cottage,  raged  up  ami 
down  the  stage,  yelling  loudly  for  "Mrs.  Brown,"  or, 
letting  his  temper  get  the  better  of  him,  decided: 
upon  Dick's  immediate  removal  back  to  the  town. 

Mr.  Merryinan  more  than  successfully  carried- 
out  his  part  as  Arthur  Howard,  the  dentist.  He  was- 
ready  in  his  interpretation,  and,  though  he  allowed 
the  sight  of  money  to  tempt  him,  he  won  great  praise 
by  his  easy  stage  manner.  The  gentleman  of  leisure,. 
Lloyd  Weaver,  brought  down  the  house  with  his  oft- 
repeated  words,  "I'm  a  despwate  man,"  especially 
when  he  looked  as  inoffensive  as  a  little  lamb.  The 
ouly  fault  to  find  with  Worth  Carew  was  that  he 
absolutely  refused  to  part  his  hair  in  the  middle. 

Miss  Ruth  Lobaugh  as  Susanne  Dacre,  skill- 
fully interpreted  her  part.  The  very  fact  that  she 
boiled  eggs  for  two  hours  and  yet  found  them  hard^ 
won  for  her  a  recommendation  as  a  twentieth  ceil- 


tury  housewife.  The  part  of  Letty,  taken  by  Misf\ 
Mather,  was  well  performed.  In  her  charming  way 
Letty  tried  to  aid  her  husband,  but  she  found  him  so 
entangled  in  fabulous  tales  that  she  could  scarcely 
keep  up  with  him. 

The  part  of  the  German  girl,  played  so  success 
fully  by  Miss  Christian,  called  forth  great  applause 
from  a  pleased  audience.  As  she  majestically  inter- 
rupted the  irate  Abel  as  she  hunted  for  the  man  she 
"lofed",  or  frantically  called  for  the  "vipers"  the 
audience  was  convulsed  with  laughter. 

Mr.  Pfaller  as  Pollock,  the  gardener,  sustained 
his  part  well  and  by  his  easy  stage  manner  and  ini 
personation,  gained  for  himself  a  goodly  share  of 
the  praise;  while  Miss  Alice  Fenstamaker  as  Prim- 
rose realistically  portrayed  the  part  of  a  "mammy 
cook"  by  appearance,  speech  and  manner. 

But  to  the  cast  alone  not  all  the  praise  is  due. 
The  class  as  well  as  the  characters  owe  to  Miss 
Mary  McCloskey,  as  director,  more  thanks  than  can 
be  expressed.  To  her  untiring  efforts  and  struggles 
with  the  characters,  not  always  the  quietest,  much 
credit  is  awarded.  Also  to  Mr.  Lowe,  business  man 
ager,  Mr.  Stauffer,  property  man,  and  Mr.  Stahl- 
man  and  aides,  a  large  amount  of  thanks  should  go. 
To  the  young  ladies  who  were  tireless  in  their  ef- 
forts to  beautify  the  hall,  one  cannot  give  enough 
thanks,  but  simply  state  that  the  results  of  the  work 
had  to  be  seen  to  be  appreciated  The  stage  settings, 
costumes  and  other  accessories  were  well  selected 
and  added  much  interest  to  the  presentation. 

The  first  scene,  representing  the  lawn  in  front 
■of  Dick's  cottage,  was  well  arranged,  showing  a 
small,  neat  cottage  with  everything  that  could  pos- 


sibly be  added  to  make  it  look  cozy.  Between  the 
second  and  third  acts  a  complete  change  had  to  be 
made  which  transformed  the  stage  from  an  outdoor 
scene  to  an  inner  one  of  luxury  and  ease.  Through 
the  aid  of  the  busy  boys  the  change  was  made  in  a 
short  time. 

Between  the  second  and  third  acts  Miss  Reut- 
ter  sang  a  vocal  solo  in  her  usual  pleasing  manner. 
Before  and  between  acts  the  orchestra  under  Mr. 
Rohr  lendered  several  selections. 

Altogether  the  Senior  Play  of  the  Class  of  1911 
was  second  to  none  ever  given  at  this  school,  and  the 
Class  is  to  be  congratulated  on  having  presented  an 
entertainment  which  was  a  credit  both  to  it  and  to 
the  school.

HISTORY  OF  CAMPUS  PAGEANT 


One  characteristic  of  the  Clarion  State  Normal 
School  which  distinguishes  it  from  other  Normals 
is  the  festivities  of  the  campus  pageant.  The  idea 
of  such  a  day  was  introduced  in  June  of  1905,  and 
is  now  carried  out  on  a  large  scale  under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  instructor  in  Physical  training. 

During  the  introduction  of  the  pageant  work, 
a  program  of  the  day  consisted  of  a  series  of  folk 
dances  presented  by  the  different  classes.  Among 
them  were  the  Danish.  "Dance  of  Greeting,"  the 
Russian  "Yarsonviennia."  the  Swedish,  "Weaving- 
Dance,"  the  Dutch,  "Quadrille"  and  the  English, 
"May-pole  Winding."  Each  group  w.ore  the  cos- 
tume suggestive  of  the  folk  fepresented.  The  music- 
selected  was  of  that  quaint  kind  peculiar  to  the 
people  of  Northern  Europe  and  together  with  the 
costumes  gave  a  very  effective  representation. 

The  Campus  Pageant  of  the  spring  of  190!) 
brought  into  activity  the  industrious  class  of  1911. 
The  pageant  had  i's  setting  in  "Merrie  England" 
in  the  days  when  the  Saxons  contented  with  the  . 
Normans  for  lost  supremacy  and  Robin  Hood  and 
his  band  of  outlaws  were  seeking  to  regain  their 
rights.  The  scenes  were  adopted  from  Scott's 
"Ivanhoe."  The  pageant  opened  with  Cedric,  the 
Saxon  Nobleman  at  his  evening  meal.  Among 
those  at  this  meal  were  Lady  Rowena,  and  Ivanhoe. 
in  disguise.  The  tournament  at  Ashby  followed. 
The  knights,  repiesen'ed  by  a  group  of  boys  came 
riding  across  the  fields  on  their  chargers.  The 
part  which  the  class  of  1911  played  was  indeed  a 
most  effective  part.  In  a  drill  given  to  the  health 
of  Prince  John,  the  girls  were  dressed  in  native 
costumes,  carrying  large  pails  on  their  heads 
which  distinguished  them  as  milkmaids.  The  boys 
were  arrayed  in  foreign  dress  and  likewise,  played 
their  part  well.  Ivanhoe  vanquished  his  foes  and 
won  the  Queen  of  Love  and  P.eauty — Lady  Rowena. 
Following  this  was  the  storming  of  the  castle     of 


Torquilstone  which,  with  prisoners,  was  in  posses- 
sion of  Ihe  friends  of  King  John.  King  Richard's 
men  amid  a  stormof  arrows  rescued  the  prisoner 
held  in  the  castle.  The  trial  of  Rebecca,  the  lovely 
Jewess,  reproduced  in  detail  another  phase  of  the 
customs  of  the  times,  when  a  champion  appeared 
and  she  was  spared  from  death  at  1he  stake. 

Following  this  performance  came  the  bridal 
procession  of  knights,  pages,  bridesmaids.  Princess 
Aymer  and  lastly  Ivanhoe  and  Rowena.  Inter- 
mingled with  these  events  were  feats  of  archery, 
old  English  dances,  marches  by  the  brides- 
maids and  frequent  combats  by  the  knights.  The 
aim  in  this  pageant  was  to  present  as  clearly  as 
possible  Ihe  life,  customs  and  costumes  of  the 
chivalric  days  when  Prince  John  sought  to  over- 
throw the  throne  of  his  brother,  King  Richard, 
who  was-nbsent  in  the  Holy  land. 

The  scene  of  the  pageant  in  1910  represented 
a  summer  day  in  Rome  during  the  fifth  century. 
The  emperor  and  his  soldiers  had  just  returned 
from  a  victorious  campaign  against  the  loarbarians, 
and  a  holiday  had  been  declared.  The  gaiety  was" 
at  its  height  when  suddenly  the  barbarians  made 
and  unexpected  raid.  Several  processions  partook 
of  the  nature  of  welcoming  the  emperor.  The  mid- 
dle year  girls — referring  to  our  happy  number — 
formed  a  long  procession,  each  one  carrying  a 
garland  of  Howeis  and  wearing  a  wreath,  represent- 
ed the  vestal  virgins,  surrounding  the  altar.  The 
boys,  dressed  in  light  costumes,  joined  in  merry 
greeting  to  the  king. 

This  year  there  will  be  given  what  promises 
to  be  the  most  inspiring  pageant  in  the  history  of 
the  school.  It  deals  with  the  Renaissance  in 
Florence  during  the  fifteenth  century  and  will  give 
an  extensive  idea  of  the  life-work  of  Savonarola, 
Lorrenzo  de  Medici,  Michael  Angelo  and  other  prom- 
inent persons  of  that  remarkable  period.

"IF" 

How  we,  the  Seniors,  here  would  shine 
If  only  we  could  have  the  time, 
Our  Physics  labor  would  become 
As  easy  as  some  simple  fun. 
And  "Daddy"  would  be  sure  to  say 
"You  are  the  wonder  of  the  day". 
And  ''Dolly"  would  not  wish  to  scold, 
Because  our  stories  were  not  told. 
From  our  dear  Bobby  we  would  hear 
Du  bist  sehr  klug,  is  wundert  mir," 
'Tis  very  true  you'd  see  us  shine 
If  only  wr  could  have  the  time. 

Poor  patient  Dr.  Ballentine 

Would  iay  our  Cicero  ;s  fine 

His  chin  would  cease  to  tremble  so 

As  down  'he  list  of  names  he'd  go 

His  jocund  spirit  would  return 

And  all  our  'equos'  we  would  burn 

Miss  Rice  from  club  would  cease  her  reaching 

And  look  in  wonder  at  our  teaching 

Miss  Reutter  to  her  band  would  say, 

"Which  church  do  you  prefer  today?" 

In  fact  it  would  be  very  fine 

If  only  we  could  have  the  time. 

Miss  Barton's  face  would  glow  sublime 
For  note  books  would  be  in  on  time 
Miss  Givan  never  would  would  regret 
Permission  for  a  feast  she'd  let 
As  students  of  this  institution 
We'd  tune  for  "Closky's"  elocution 
Miss  Lilly  wouldn't  blame  nor  spurn 
For  we  her  fancy  steps  would  learn, 
"Adapt  yourselves  to  your  surroundings" 
Is  heard  from  Dr.  Becht's  expoundings. 
Who'd  not  confess  that  we  would  shine 
If  only  we  could  find  the  time?

Cheer  up;  there  hain't  no  one  everybody  likes. 
— Merryman. 

Experience  is  a  dear  teacher

Who  pounds  in  education 

On  Senior  kids  by  force? 

And   who   knows   what's   an   Alderny? 

Why  Miss  B does,  of  course. 

Dr.  Becht  had  just  announced  in  Chapel  that 
the  Junior  Class  was  the  largest  enrolled  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  institution.  Immediately  he  followed  this 
announcement  by  reading  1he  text  for  the  morning: 


"Lord,  how  are  they  increased  who  trouble  rne." 

At  dinner  when    the    lights    were    out.     Miss 

Campbell — "It  is  so  dark,  I  can't  find  my  mouth." 
Mr.  Lowe — "Oh,  leave  that  to  me;  I  always  can." 

I  just  can't  make  my  eyes  behave — Frances  Schott. 

Miss  Lobaugh,  in  German— "He  opened  his 
mouth  far  ami  wide". 

I'rof.  Steele,  without  a  smile, — "I  guess  far 
will  be  enough. 

It  is  i  he  duty  of  every  student  of  the  student 
body  of  the  Clarion  State  Normal  Institution  to 
show  the  proper  attitude  toward  the  institutional 
activities  as  dutiful  students  should. 

I'm  tired  of  living  alone — Lois  Porter. 

I'rof.  Egbert— "What  is  the  meaning  of  the 
reference  to  a  swan?" 

Miss  Lehman — "Fade  away." 

Putney— "Well,  who  really  wrote  the  History 
of  the  Merchant  of  Venice?" 

Prof.  Egbert— 'The  History  of  the  Merchant  of 
Venice  was  written  by  a  talented  but  unscrupulous 
man  named  Macbeth,  who  was  afterwards  tried  and 
convicted  for  murdering  sleep." 

Prof.  Welch— "Merryman,  define  Physics." 
Merryman— "Physics  is  that  art  which  we  know 
all  about,  but  can't  understand." 

Prof.    Egbert— "Mr.    Metz,    who    was    King   of 
England  during  John  Smith's  time?" 
Metz — "Queen  Elizabeth." 

"They  call  it  an  electric  light,"  confided  Ross- 
man  to  his  roommate,  "but  it  does  beat  me  how  they 
make  that  hair  pin  burn  in  the  bottle." 


Outclassed.

Upon  the  sandy  bed ;

The  volume  of  a  given  weight  of  any  gas  under 
constant  temperature  varies  inversely  as  the  pres- 
sure— from  beginning  to  end." 

Mildred  Kribbs — "O,  the  boys  are  coming  up 
the  fire  escape." 

Miss  Givan — "Never  fear,  girls,  I'll  protect  you 
to  the  best  of  my  advantage." 

Neither  "square  and  compass"  nor  a  "Trotter" 
will  get  you  a  grade  in  Senior  Grammar.  Gram- 
mar grades  are  earned  by  the  sweat  of  your  own 
brow. 

Jimmie  Neil — "Shall  we  copy  them  all?" 
Miss  Barton — "Yes,  every  blessed  one;  and  you 
will  be  blessed  at  the  end  of  this  term  if  you  don't." 

Juniors,  Beware! 
The  price  of  mutton's  going  up. 
And  well  you  know  you  can't  afford  to  wear 
That  sheepish  look. 

Marie  Howard — "Miss  Lilly,  where  did  you  say 
we  were  to  get  the  material  for  our  costumes  for  the 
gymnastic  exhibition?" 

Miss  Lilly — "At  Corbett's  a  yard  wide." 

Bess  Snyder,  in  Public  Speaking  Class — "Miss 
McCloskey,  please  may  I  be  excused ;  the  fumigation 
makes  me  sick?" 

MissMcCloskey — "O,  we  have  not  fumigated  yet" 

Walter  Eossman — "Say,  Harriet,  are  those  puffs 


of  May's  real?    I  would  be  afraid  the  wind  would 
blow  them  off. 

Harriet  Hays — "Why,  they  are  fastened  on  her 
head,  you  silly  boy." 

"Walter — "Well  I  can  see  right  through  one  of 
them." 

Harriet — "Well,  they're  just  rolled  up  that  way" 
Walter. — "Well,  well,  I'm  wiser  now." 

A  ragged,  broken-down  fellow  passed  the  post 
office  this  morning,  and  Lloyd  Weaver  was  heard  to 
remark:  "You  wouldn't  think  from  looking  at  him 
that  he  played  an  elegant  game  of  billiards  ten 
years  ago." 

Wise  Man — "Ah !  You  poor  foolish  little  fellow, 
here  is  a  dollar  for  you." 

Curly — "Thank  you,  sir,  but  I  have  a  brother 
as  foolish  as  I  am;  can't  you  give  me  a  dollar  for 


Jim  Neil,  in  Geometry  Class  after  much  deliber- 
ation proved  that  L  PIG  equals  L  Hog.  Result:— 
Pythagoras'  face  all  broke  up. 

Warning  to  Seniors — Don't  go  around  in  your 
own  "higglety,  pigglety  fashion." 

Dr.  Ballentine  in  Virgil. — "Mr.  Heeter,  you  may 
translate  the  paragraph." 

Heeter — "I  am  the  pious  Aeneas — hm — km — m. 

It  is  easy  enough  to  be  pleasant 

When   the  lessons  flow  gently   along; 

But  the  student  worth  while 

Is  the  one  who  can  smile 

When  Dad  fires  the  questions  so  strong. 


Light  footsteps  are  heard  in  the  hall, 
A  scratching  at  the  door; 

And  there  stands  Miss  G 

Scolding  as  ever  before. 

Student — "Do  you  expect  to  graduate  this  year" 

May   Sterley — "Why — yes-s — I    have    my    class 

pin,  had  my  picture  taken,  ordered  my  invitations, 

have  some  recommendations,  and  addressed  a  few 

envelopes  for  the  Sequelle." 

Prof.  Welch — "Jessie  Gates,  why  will  not  fan- 
ning your  face  cool  it  when  it  is  not  damp?" 

Jess — "Because  there  is  no  presspiration  on-it." 
Prof.  W. — How  do  you  spell  that  big  word?" 
Jess — "What  big  word?" 
Prof.  W. — You  don't  catch  me  that  way." 
Prof.  Wilkinson  in  Arithmetic — "It  is  very  nee: 
•essajy  to  have  a  pint,  a  quart  and  a  gallon  in  the>' 
school  room." 

Prof.  Welch — "Why  does  water  flow  through  a 
siphon  ?" 

Jess  Gates   (silently) — "Because  it  can't  climb 
a  tree." 

William  Welch  and  Miss  Lyle  take  the  banner 
for  straight-up-ness. 

Miss  McCloskey — "What  happened  to  Jonah?" 
Besse  Snyder — "He  swallowed  a  whale." 
Prof.  Egbert — "What  causes  a  man  to  sweat  af- 
ter drinking  a  glass  of  soda?" 

Dougherty — "Thinking  of  the  nickel." 
Dr.    Ballentine    was    perfectly    thunderstruck 
when  he  heard  Pfaller  recite  in  Virgil  recently  and 
has  provided  himself  with  a  lightning  rod. 

Geneva  Stevens — "My  parents  have  at  last  pre- 
vented me  from  being  a  teacher." 

Alice    McGulIough — "I    congratulate    them    on 
their  success." 


Prof.  Wilkinson — "Give  me  the  converse  of  the 
theorem,  a  straight  line  is  the  shortest  distance  be- 
tween two  points." 

Guthrie — "A  crooked  point  is  the  straightest 
line  "between  two  short  distances." 

Woodman!  Cut  that  tree!

— Stauffer. 


Miss  Lilly — "You  would  be  a  good  dancer  only 
for  two  things." 

Metz — "What  are  1hey?" 
Miss  Lilly — "Your  feet." 

Miss  Howard — "Is  Latin  a  dead  language?" 
Prof.  Ballentine — "It  is  considered  so." 
Miss  Howard — "When  did  it  die?" 

Don't  a  fellow  feel  good  after  he  gets  out  of  a 
store  where  he  nearly  bought  something. 

— Dougherty 
A  Classical  Conversation. 

Chauncey — "Wie  befindet  dein  Kropf  sich?" 
Bridget — "Run  along  wid  yez,  kid,  talk  United 
States;  phwat  does  yez  think  this  is?" 

Merryman — The  fellow  that  always  has  some- 
thing to  say  is  the  one  that  makes  good." 

Prof.  Egbert,  in  Merchant  of  Venice — Mr.  Neil, 
what  are  you  doing  there?" 

Jimmie — "I'm  just  drawing  the  picture  of  the 
Jew." 

Miss  Barton,  in  diagraming  a  sentence— "Shall 
I  put  the  'friend  of  my  youth'  on  stilts?" 

Bill  Welch — "Some  impossible  things  are  per- 
fect happiness." 


THE  LAMENT  OF  A  SENIOR'S  PEN 


Scratch!  Scratch!  Scratch! 

On  thy  cold  blue  page  O  Pen  ! 

And  I  would  that  my  thoughts  could  be  uttered 

When  the  lights  go  out  at  ten. 

Oh.  well  for  the  tyrant  grim       , 

That  he  sleeps  in  the  house  o'er  the  way; 

When  the  poor,  tired  Senior  studies 

In  the  clothes  press  'till  the  break  of  day. 


And  the  weary  hours  drag'  on 
Through  the  night  so  cold-and  still, 
But  Oh !  for  the  book  from  a  Senior  gone 
Or  an  idea  from  a  brain  that  is  still. 

Scratch  !  Scratch !  Scratch ! 

On  thy  cold  blue  page,,  O  Pen ! 

But  no  sooner  we  finish  our  hard  task 

Than  we  have  to  begin  again.

A  TRUE  NATURALIST 

Miss  T — an  enthusiastic  lover  of  nature,  was  one 
day  taking  a  stroll  when  she  met  M —  to  whom  she 
exclaimed,  "Ah,  my  friend!  How  well  you  represent 
the  beautiful  sun-set  with  those  auburn  locks,  how 
well  you  represent  the  face  of  nature,  and  show  it 
in  all  tts  moods.  Have  you  ever  seen  the  sun 
sinking  in  such  a  glare  of  glory  that  it  swallows  up 
the  horizon  with  fire?"  "Have  you  never  seen  the 
mist  stealthly  retreating  down  the  hillside  like  a 


spectre?  Have  you  never,"  she  went  on  passion- 
ately, "seen  the  moon  struggling  to  shake  off  th& 
grip  of  the  ragged,  rugged  storm  cloud?"  "No,"" 
responded  M,  "I'm  on  the  water  wagon." 


ACCIDENTS 

Merryman  fell  from  one  of  his  air  castles  and 
broke  six  ribs  in  his  umbrella. 

Weaver  while  singing  a  solo  was  compelled  to- 
jump  from  B  natural  to  B  fiat,  to  escape  a  brick- 
that  was  aimed  at  his  head.  He  received  no  mark- 
ed bruises  but  swallowed  a  false  note  in  his  flight. 

Lowe  jumped  clear  out  of  bed.  The  Doctor  in- 
vestigating found  that  he  had  broken  nothing  but 
his  promise. 

Metz  was  rendered  unconscious  by  colliding- 
with  an  idea,  but  is  now  convalescing. 

Miss  Haffley  was  suddenly  overcome  by  her 
own  importance.  Friends  will  be  allowed  to  see- 
her  at  any  time. 

Rossman  while  beating  a  hasty  retreat  through 
Virgil,  on  horse  back  accidently  fell  from  his  trusty 
steed  and  sprained  his  Eustachean  tube,  broke  his; 
suspenders  and  badly  dislocated  his  chew. 

Guthrie  lost  his  breath,  but  dear  friends  do- 
not  become  excited  he  has  another  in  his  pocket. 


JINGLING  JOHNSON'S  RHYMES 


It  was  on  the  night  of  her  return 
To  old  0.  g.  K  g. 
That  a  man  named  L—  L — 
Wrote  a  note  to  her  address. 
It  said:     My  dear  Miss  P 
Here  is  a  splendid  chance, 
If  you  will  but  accept  it 
To  attend  the  Tsuga  dance. 

Of  course  she  was  delighted 
She  fairly  danced  with  joy 
And  said;  I  am  so  happy 
He  is  my  darling  boy. 

They  planned  to  meet  at  B — 
A  house  down  town  you  know 
And  Lois  fixed  and  fussed  herself 
Until  she  looked  just  so. 

Down  the  street  she  started 
Her  head  off  to  one  side 
Then  not  far  off,  as  she  looked  up 
Her  blue-eyed  man  she  spied. 

As  soon  as  they  were  in  the  house 
He  started  up  to  spoon,    . 
And  said,  Some  day,  My  dearest 
We'll  take  our  honey  moon. 

He  hadn't  much  experience 

But  he  knew  how  to  kiss, 

He  took  her  little  hand  in  his 

And  said,  Oh !  what  perfect  bliss. 

This  is  the  softest  arm,  he  said 

And  he  kept  smoothing  it, 

He  reached  her  with  his  long  slim  hand 

And  made  her  near  him  sit. 


Your  hair  is  so  fair 

Your  eyes  are  so  blue 

Why  I  never  knew 

How  much  I  loved  you. 

Of  course  they  had  some  trouble 

As  lovers  always  do 

Although  it  wasn't  serious, 

It  made  them  worry  too. 

He  sent  to  her  a  postal  card, 

But  by  some  queer  mishap 

A  sketch  was  made  she  didn't  like 

By  some  unworthy  chap. 

For  days  she  was  indignant 

And  then  a  talk  they  had 

But  Lois  soon  forgave  him 

When  she  saw  he  felt  so  bad. 

She  thinks  he  is  so  graceful 

And  she  says  it  is  so  nice 

To  love  a  man  like  Mr.  L. 

For  he  always  has  the  price. 

He  is  a  sport  I  tell  you, 

And  he  has  a  steady  job, 

All  up  and  down  the  street  he  goes, 

Driving  old  gray  uDob." 

We  don't  need  time  to  tell  us, 
What  her  future  life  will  be 
Just  think  wha!  all  has  happened, 
And  you  readily  can  see. 
That'ere  that  girl  is  twenty 
She'll  be  married  sure  as  fate 
And  all  we  can  do  is  say,  Hurrah ! 
She  has  picked  a  lovely  mate.

You   aint  got   the   girl   till   the   ring's

You  don't  know  how  much  you  have  to 

know  in  order  to  know  how  little 

you  know. 
I'm  tired  of  living  alone. 
Work  for  the  night  is  coming. 
Won't'   you  come  home,  Bill. 
When  Johnnie  comes  marching  home 
Just  one  Moore. 
Oh,  to  reduce  this  avoirdupois. 
Say,  girls,  I've  found  a  beau. 
Beautiful  eyes. 

I'm  afraid  to  go  home  in  the  dark. 
Any  little  girl. 

We  just  came  from  the  city. 

Meet  me  in  the  twilight. 

Oh,  you  Cutey.

He's  a  merry   good  man. 

Don't  take  me  home.

Favorite    Song 

Draw   me   nearer. 
Hazel  eyes  for  mine. 
I  wonder  who's  kissing  her  now. 
You're  mine,  all  mine. 
When  the  robins  nest  again. 
Sing  me   to   sleep  dearie. 
Somebody's    waiting  for  you. 
Amid  the  violets. 

Bluebell 
I   wish    some   one   would    love    me. 
Won't  you  let  me  build  a  nest  for  you? 
Hold    thou    my    hand. 
Any   of   Logan's   songs.

I'm  lonesome,  oh,  so  lonesome. 
Oh.   for  my   shining  light  once  more, 
Josephine,  My  Joe. 
Ach    du    lieber   Augustine 
I  love  my  anti-lean,  but  oh,  you  anti-

Someday  when  dreams  come  true. 
Meet   me  tonight  in  Dreamland. 


*  Our  Editor-in-chief  marked  this    line  out  of  the  copy  but  the  Board     of  Publication  decided  the  book  would 
scarcely  be  complete  without  it,  so  it  has  been  inserted. 


STEVENS  HALL  -1492-1911 


Yes,  this  is  where  we  fellows  live — most  oi  the 
time.  We  are  a1  home  when  not  in  the  dormitory, 
and  not  at  home  when  we  are  at  war  with  our  books. 
If  you  don't  believe  this  just  come  around  so;;ie  day 
and  knock  on  the  door — maybe  we  are  at  home  anil 
maybe  not.  Ask  any  of  the  fellows  if  he  wouldn't 
rather  be  playing  lenuis,  foot  ball,  basket  ball,  etc., 
than  trying  to  prove  that  the  sun  revolves  around 
Strattanville.  Once  last  winter  it  snowed  so  hard 
that  we  couldn't  get  outside,  so  the  fellows  started 
a  bowling  alley  on  the  third  floor.  Recreation — but 
this  idea  was  expeditiously  squelched  by  a  non-sym- 
pathizing professor.  Then  the  fellows  started  glee 
clubs  and  quartets,  but  the  windows  were  paned  too 
much  to  admit  of  such  treatment.  But  Stevens  Hall 
isn't  such  a  bad  place.     Some  of  the  fellows  like  it 


so  well  that  they  do  not  venture  out  of  its  site  for 
two,  three  and  four  weeks  at  a  time.  It  really  is  a 
delightful  place  when  some  fellow  gets  an  express 
package,  marked  perishable,  and  that  night  we  are 
invited  to  a  feed  enticing  enough  to  suit  a  king.  In 
spite  of  this  you  will  see  each  one  of  us  journey 
three  times  a  day  to  the  dining  room  in  Navarre 
where  we  indulge  in  Manual  Training  and  Gymnas- 
tic Exercises  for  a  brief  forty-five  minutes,  and  talk 
1o  the  girls  until  the  last  bell  rings.  They  say  grown 
people  often  get  into  trouble,  and  we  are  only  boys. 
Well,  boys  are  always  glad  to  get  home,  but  we  of 
1911  shall  not  forget  the  good  times  old  Stevens 
Hall  has  afforded  us. 

"Should  auld  acquaintance  be  forgot."

REMARKS  HEARD  AFTER  EXAMS. 


A  dead  cinch. 

1  lidn't  know  a  d — d  thing. 

Had  the  goods,  but  couldn't  use  them. 

Put  me  on  the  front  row. 

Didn't  get  a  blame  thing  I  knew. 

Prof.  W —  sat  right  behind  me. 

Had  a  peach  of  a  horse. 

A  shame  to  take  the  money. 

Didn't  have  time  to  finish. 


Pretty  d— d  stiff. 

O,  gee!  I  got  that  wrong. 

My  neighbor  proved  a  hero. 

What  trot  would  have  carried  you  thru  that? 

Oh,  well,  this  is  our  last  year. 

What  does  he  think  this  is? 

No  cinch  for  me. 

Just  now  I  remember  of  having  that  in  class. 


U.  IL  ITY  BRIGADE 


ZiP  at  the  football  game 


What's  the  use  of  those  fellows  carrying  that 
foot  ball,  as  they  call  it,  around  under  their  arms? 
Why  don't  they  kick  it?  Why  don't  ihey  jump  on 
it   instead  of  falling  on   it?     Some  one  will  surely 

hurt  themselves  falling  on  that  ball.  Look  at  that 
big  fellow — Heeter.  How  much  he  reminds  me  of 
a  runaway  miiley  cow  when  lie  gets  his  frame  in 
motion.  He  gallops  around  as  if  he  was  pursued 
by  a  swarm  of  bees.  But  there!  What  is  that 
black  streak?  Oh  that  is  Stug,  after  the  ball;  he 
certainly  looks  like  a  lull  sized  potato  bug  trying 
to  make  a  touchdown  with  a  pumpkin.  My!  what  is 
all  this  noise?  It  sounds  like  the  donkey  Jack 
that  Oberlin  used  to  own,  braying  for  his  beloved 
master  to  come  and  scratch  his  nose  with  a  bit  of 
hay.  Why,  it's  Judd  laughing  at  Heeter.  Now, 
looking  at  foot  ball  from  the  standpoint  of  physical 
economy,  I  don't  see  much  to  laugh  at.     It  certainly 

is  as  bad  as  war.  But  don't  swear;  it  sounds  like 
hell ;  if  you  must  fight  join  the  army.  Just  look  at 
that  Tucker  Beatty — he  hits  the  line  like  an  enraged 
billy-goat  with  six  or  seven  fellows  trying  to  stop 
him  by  standing  still  and  looking  at  him  with  their 
mouths  wide  open,  offering  prayers  to  Jupiter  not 
to  let  him  make  a  touchdown.  If  he  ever  comes 
near  Manson  (Bed)  there  will  be  an  eclipse  of  the 
«un. 


Please  don't  laugh ;  Metz  is  only  a  boy  and  he 
really  and  truly  couldn't  help  it  when  he  slid  thro' 
the  mud  puddle  on  his  face  and  was  compelled  to 
say  dirly  things  for  a  week  to  get  all  of  Mother 
Earth  out  of  his  mouth.  Weaver  followed  suit  and 
came  out  looking  like  an  accident  looking  for  a 
place  to  happen.  Jones  and  Beck  both  started  after 
the  ball — Beck  stumbled  and  Jones  fell  over  him; 
then  Beck  fell  over  Jones  and  they  were  still  busy 
getting  untangled  when  some  one  came  to  the  res- 
cue.  That  fellow  Pfaller  is  so  polite  that  he  asked 
Manson  if  he  might  have  the  ball,  gave  it  to  some 
one,  and  isn't  through  calling  signals  yet — 41 — 15 — ! 
But  that  does  not  make  any  difference.  Bossman  and 
Welch  are  half-way  down  the  field.  Fast  foot  ball 
players,  those  boys,  Welch  taking  strides  5280  feet 
in  circumference  and  Bossman  looking  like  a  rooster 
making  right-about-faces  to  see  if  anyone  is  near. 

But  loan  me  your  field  glasses.  Yes,  there  is  a 
man  at  the  other  end  of  the  field.  It's  Stauffer  as 
sure  as  I'm  alive.  Pfaller,  in  passing  the  ball  to 
Stauffer,  fell  and  strained  his  Eustachian  tubes.  The 
pass  is  a  failure.  Boo,  hoo!  What  is  the  little  pig- 
eon toed  fellow  crying  about.  Come,  wake  up  Pat- 
terson! Now  the  whole  thing  will  have  to  be  done 
over  again.     O,  what's  the  use. 


WE  WONDER  WHY: 


Lowe  is  the  freshest  fellow  in  school. 

Miss  Levier  doesn't  have  her  voice  cultivated. 

Metz  is  always  late. 

Miss  Lyle  always  prefaces  her    remarks    with 
"I  was  just  going  to  say." 

Stautfer  begs  tobacco. 

Miss  Wolf  sleeps  while  others  work  and  sleeps 
with  others  when  they  sleep. 

Neil  joined  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 

Ruth  Haffley  never  has  gotten  over  the  childish 
habit  of  standing  on  one  foot  in  class. 

Kerr  chews  his  words. 

Lulu  Robbins  often  looks  at  Carl     Metz     and 
sighs  so  pitifully. 

Stahlman  don't  get  married. 

Leslie  Baldwin  thinks  Miss  Clawges     is     only 
thirty. 

Guthrie  would  rather  sleep  than  eat. 


"Gracy,  Nettie  Bell  and  Jolly 

Are  always  "skeeky"  Misses." 
Dougherty  doesn't  get  fat. 
Weaver  acts  like  a  kid.  ; 
The  Model  boys  flirt  with  Leslie. 
Heeter  wears  his  trousers  to  his  shoe  tops. 
Bertha  is  getting  so  slender. 
Stahlman  wears  his  glasses,  when  togged  up. 
Miriam  is  specalizing  in  Grammar. 
Caldwell  doesn't  make  more  noise. 
Harriett  giggles  so. 
Merryman  loves  to  sing. 
Gertrude  and  Brdie  are  so  prim. 
Pfaller  is  so  small. 

Miss  Parker  doesn't  specify  in  boy-o-logy. 
Nora  Evangeline  never  catches  a  beau. 
Mary  loves  George. 
Jessie  M — 's  head  increases  daily. 
Steele  spells  words  for  the  Seniors. 


COMPARISON  OF  TWO  SENIOR  HEADS 


Bertha  Maier,  during  my  career  my  head  has  passed 
through  the  different  stages. 

1.  Solidified — when  born. 

2.  Liquified — learned  most  rapidly. 

3.  Vapor  now,  and  still  passing  off. 

4.  Hard  to  tell  what  next  in  store  for  me. 


May  Elizabeth  Vasbinder  Sterley's  Head. 

1.  Vapor — when  born. 

2.  Liquified — learned  well. 

3.  Gelatinous — easy  to  make  an  impression. 

4.  Solidified — very  dense. 

5.  Ossified — since  I  came  here  (0.  S.  N.  S.) 


THE  MORNING  BELL 

Out  of  dreams  so  rich  and  rare 

It  pulls  us  with  a  vacant  stare, 

From  babbling  brooks  and  sunny  climes, 

It  calls  us  with  its  tuneless  chimes. 

The  river  Lethe  flows  so  calm, 
The  pillow  lures  with  endless  charm ; 
Yet  all  must  vanish  like  a  flash 
At  the  bell's  .untimely  clash. 

Into  the  realm  of  peace  and  rest, 
Where  life  seems  real,  and  all  so  blest, 
Comes  the  harsh  and  clanging  tread 
Of  him  we  all  so  soundly  dread. 

We  long  for  just  five  minutes  more, 
We  think  that  bells  are  such  a  bore, 
We  wonder  if  it  is  so  late 
And  try  our  best  to  get  awake. 

We  yawn,  and  stretch,  and  rub  our  eyes, 
And  say  our  ears  have  told  us  lies; 
But  there's  the  breakfast  bell  at  last, 
And  we  must  dress  most  wondrous  fast. 


PSALM  OF  REALITY 


Tell  me  not  in  thrilling  numbers 
"Skipping  is  an  empty  dream ;" 
Yet  the  student's  yellow  that  blunders, 
And  life  is  longer  than  it  seems. 


RULE  4-11 --44 

Should  you  chance  to  be  a  pupil 
At  the  Normal,  you  must  be 
Under  very  close  surveillance 
And  behave  most  properly. 
If  you  wish  to  go  to  "service," 
It  may  not  be  "your  own," 
That  will  just  depend  upon 
The  deal-  Miss  Chaperone. 
So  you  smother  all  your  anger 
And  yon  look  serene,  and  smile, 
But  you  feel  like  saying  something 
As  you  march  along  in  file. 
So  if  you  wanl   an  escort 
To  the  church,  or  otherwise, 
"Why  certainly,''  but  just  record 
Your  name,  and  we'll  assign 
A  chaperone  to  go  along, 
And  vou'll  fall  into  line. 


AT  EVENTIDE 


A  bowling  ball  came  down  the  hall, 

It  said,  "Oh  boys  make  room  for  all," 

It  hailed  the  Prof's,  and  cried  "Taylow" 

Ye  pedagogues,  the  night  spells  go. 

It  hurried  onward  far  away, 

Crying  awake!  I'm  on  my  way, 

It  said  unto  the  darkroom  "shout" 

Hang  all  your  leafy  banners  out. 

It  touched  a  Prof's  door  with  fond  embrace 

And  said,  "There's  just  one  in  the  race," 

And  o'er  the  tumult  in  the  hall, 

Could  be  heard  the  noisy  bowling  ball. 


THE  END 

Our  book  is  done;  your  kindness  we  implore; 
There  may  he  blunders,  but  there  might  be  more; 
There  may  be  nonsense,  who'd  be  always  sad? 
You've  laughed  at  much  perhaps  that's  just  as  bad; 
The  jokes  are  your  friends  and  not  your  foes. 
We'll  leave  you  now,  but  e'er  the  Sequelle  close, 
We'll  stop  to  wish  that  in  your  hearts  be  given 
A  kindly  thought  for  Nineteen  Eleven, 
And  though  you  criticize,  be  kind  therein, 
Our  aim  is  one,  to  honor  old  Clarion.
